    Question Vogtland Coilover owners: how low?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I know there are lots of threads about ride height, but I wanted to know what front and rear ride heights people using Vogtland coilovers are using.

    Mine are getting installed this weekend and I'll be running them w/ the stock wheels.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

    I left mine a little lower than when they came to me, by about a half inch or so.

    Re: Vogtland Coilover owners: how low?

    the ones on my car are pretty close to the top. if i remember correctly its around 2.5 inches down. They have a lot more room to go down, but i feel like its low enough, i dont want to be a snow plow wen it snows.

    Any pics? I'm getting the GT's installed next weekend and trying to figure out if I should leave them the way they come or drop it down more.

    Re: Vogtland Coilover owners: how low?

    they are coilovers, you bought them so you could adjust them to wherever you want. Why are you asking other people? figure out what you like and set them there

    Re: Vogtland Coilover owners: how low?

    Speaking of coilovers, what height does the Stasis Street run at. I take it the point of buying them is the preset settings. I wouldnt want them to be too low. If i adjusted them it would have made more sense to get the Koni.

    Re: Vogtland Coilover owners: how low?

    Well, even better. I'm definitely looking forward to messing with the height settings. Just wanted to get a good idea of where to start. Did it take about a week for the springs to settle?

    Re: Vogtland Coilover owners: how low?

    IIRC I'm at 24.75 in the front and 25 in the rear. In order for you to take advantage of CO's and be 100% happy your going to have to dial it in once they settle(as they all do).

    I would actually give them about two weeks to settle just to be safe
