Thread: KYB GR2 + Vogtland = ?? Input please

I have new KYB GR2 struts and top plates, thinking about getting some vogtland springs as well. Is the car going to ride like crap? I don't mind a firm ride but its a daily driver so I can't feel like I'm being stabbed everytime I hit a pebble in the road. Also, since I don't have experience with them- will I need the anti-pogo washers, and can those be installed after I have the struts in the car or do I have to pull the struts out and disassemble them?

Couldn't find many pictures, so if you'd like, post up pictures of your car on vogtlands also.

WE ARE IN THAT SECTION...the sticky has all the pictures, but the picture of the vogtlands won't show up. That's not a major concern anyway, I just thought people could show their cars with the springs if they wanted to.

OK, thanks? I don't want a massive drop on my daily driver. My summer car is lowered, I know how it goes. All I was asking was if the vogtland springs will work fine with the KYB GR2's, and if I need the anti-pogo washers, or if there's another alternative to that.


Anyone have some helpful info that they'd like to share?

Cool thanks, now I'm thinking maybe I should go with something that'll drop further, SSC or ZZP...

Where are the subframe washers that I can take off a junkyard car?

Also is it hard to install the ZZP engine and trans mount spacers?

not sure on the pogo washers. i would think not since the springs are still kind of tall, but i could be wrong. they are subframe washers. get a set from the junkyard for dirt cheap as insurance.

According to your thread, they have the highest spring rate.

what now?

Read that whole thread. Thank you for that. I'm thinking now I'll just stick with my stock springs. The car is a daily driver so it'll be seeing a lot of miles, I don't want my shocks to go bad in no time. It's not worth the $200 and stance to me I guess.
