They manufacture springs for Nascar and indy car teams in the USA as well as manufacturing springs for other brands. They make the springs for KW & ST and KW supply Vogtland with shocks for their coilover kits. A major player in the US market but for anyone in the UK you maybe will not have heard of them. I have a company in this field and we sell all sorts of brands and this is how I have come to know this. In my own cars I use Vogtland products, having tried all the others. For anyone considering them, go for it. Plus their prices are very good. So you would recommend their coilovers? Who sells them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyGTI Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 I’ve got them on my S3 and find them a lot better than the H&Rs on my Golf R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No harsher than standard for general tooling around, you can feel the progression as you load them up. Lower C of G helps the handling, I don't feel I need to uprate the standard anti-roll bar. Great improvement, not sure why everyone else's spring are so much more expensive, unless Demon Tweeks didn't sell any and just reduced the price to shift them. Subtle drop of around 30mm. Enough to change the look of the car, not enough to catch any protrusions on the road. Handling is noticeably more deterministic, i.e. very controlled dive under harsh braking, and when you power out of a corner the understeer is very slight until the Haldex switches on the rear power. I'd happily recommend them. Still can't get the thing to trail brake, as don't seem to be able to lessen off rear traction, but that more my limited abilities than the springs...

I think that's swayed me between these and the eibach pro spring kit as you get more of drop with these springs and from your review, and others, there's no downsides. I'll have to order them from Germany as I think Demon Tweaks has stopped stocking them now but it's not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
