the springs are awesome. i love mine, they ride and handle great. i dont know if they offer struts/coilovers for this car.

the 1.3/1.3 sits very low in front and has a little bit of gap in the back. the rear isnt as flush as the eibach kit but the vogtland rides and handles better

well you can go straight to their website and they offer shocks/struts and coilovers for $699....off the top of my head. ive heard the springs were pretty damn sick. i just hadnt heard anything about the shocks/struts. just thought it'd be a bit better to stick w/ the same brand rather than piece different ones together ya know?

I'm a Vogtland dealer. Here's the issue, the shocks aren't anything special. FWIW, I can do Koni STR.T's and Steeda Ultralites (which are made by Vogtland fwiw) for $658... Which is not only less expensive, but gives you a shock with a lifetime warranty too.

If you want that Vogtland kit, I can do it... and for less than $699 too. But it's really not the ideal solution.
