Does anyone know about Vogtland springs?

Any past experiences with this company's product?

This seller has them on eBay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWD1V

I tried verifiying fitment through the Vogtland website, but was not able to find any products for the F50.

Please advise. Thanks!

Can you make sure to take photos of your car before the installation? I want to see the difference after the install.

Did you buy from the seller on eBay?

yes I did buy them from ebay, the seller quoted them as being 1.2 drop front and rear. Not much of a drop if you ask me. I just hope it doesnt look silly cause the rear already appears to be lower because of the lower fender arc. I wish the rears were like 1.2 and the fronts were like 1.8-2.0

When did you receive the message from "Bob"?

There were some twisters in Tennessee, but that was over a week ago...

I'm curious which other brands he is able to obtain for the F50. Would you mind asking him?

He just messaged me saying he could not get any other springs which I figured. He said he could get a new set of the springs I initually ordered in 5 days so I figure to have them in about 2-3 weeks which sucks but is better then getting shafted out of my money

Try asking this ^ same question in 2 to 3 weeks.

By the way those springs are fairly known in the japanese and german market.

I did not recieve the springs but the guy was nice enough to refund my money no questions asked. I was looking foward to changing my rotors and springs and rotating my tires all at the same time (rear tires are chopped up due to rubbing prior to having my fenders cut). I might just settle with swift springs but I really dont want to pay close to $400 for a 1 inch drop. I talked to a few guys at the VIP forums but they said at the moment, they are not taking single orders on springs but

im sure if we can get a few people in, we can have some springs shipped from japan and save money on shipping. I was quoted anywhere from $300-$450 with shipping depending on the brand but the wait will be close to a month.
