Default Vogtland Spring Picture Request

I've been trying to decide on a springs/shocks/struts package to lower my 08 GT/CS aproximately an 1.25". I'm considering the Vogtland springs and would like to see some cars with these springs installed.

My main goal is to lower the carwith a secondary goal toimprove the handling with as little as possible impact on ride quality.Money is always a factor too as the more I can save on one mod leaves some extra money for another mod. The car willbedriven on nice days during the nice Spring/Summer/Fall weather and won't be raced in any way. "Spirited" on/off ramps and windy roads are always in order! The roads where I live are not always the best with pot holes and road repair patchesare pretty common. Our highways are pretty decent though.

If anyone has some good photos of their05-08 Mustangs lowered on Vogtland Springs (both the 1.2" front and 1.2" rear kit and the leveling kit with the .8" front and the 1.2" rear) I'd really like to see the difference.

You could mention what shocks/struts you used as well and how you like the setup.

Thanks in advance!

Here's a thread with a few pictures of the leveling kit.

Give Sam Strano a call. He's a member/site sponsor here ( www.stranoparts.com) and carries both the Vogtland/D-Spec and Vogtland/Koni packages, and even though I think that you're looking for a choice between those two, he'll discuss this with you in better detail than I can. I know Sam, and trust him to not 'oversell' you relative to what you need.

If it's of any help, I'm leaning toward the Vogtland/Koni kit, with handling being of higher priority than the appearance aspects (I'm a corner carver from way, way back).

I have talked with him twice. Basically the reason I'm looking for pictures, so I can decide which look I like better. Thanks.

I have a pic I can e-mail you of an '05. It has the normal springs, not the "leveling" springs.

I can't post it here, I can only e-mail it. I think you'll find it helpful, but I'd need an e-mail addy.
