Anyone have any experience w/ them? Been doing a lot of reading of springs and what not (not just on Scions) and saw a lot of positive feedback on Vogtland.

This car also ran them http://www.tmracewear.com/news_20091006.php
and seemed to do really well.

Been debating Vogtland, TRD, H&R sport, or Eibach Pro.

setup now includes koni yellows and hotchkis sways. i want a decent (but stiff) ride and good handling. how would you recommend setting up the konis? now i have them about 2/3 stiff out back (sway full stiff) and 1/3 stiff up front (sway soft)

I'm currently running H-techs so I don't even wanna hear about any of that crap. After 4 years they are sagging like a ****. They suck @$$ as far as handling is concerned.

I don't know about the specifically for the tC, but I know they're huge in Germany and from what I've heard are pretty high quality. No idea about the spring rates though.

FlintC

yep same ive been reading. 171 f/ 321 r rates 1.6f / 1.2r drops

I think Dan Gardner runs a set of them with his Moton shocks.

FlintC

yea thats what i was thinking. i would like to get the konis dampened close enough so i dont have to take the rears off and do it again. any idea how i should set em? id rather be a little stiff for handling purposes then too soft. :/

Personally, I'd go as stiff as possibly all the way around. But that's the autox setup in me talking.

FlintC

well thats what im thinking. i can adjust the front from under the hood in 5 minutes. the rears however have to be completely removed and disassembled. i may run the rear almost full stiff. and adjust the front as neccessary.

however, i dont want it to be jumpy on the road, its very finicky now but i think its due to the craptasticness of the springs

My dad put these springs on his car. They're decent springs. I would get them if you're looking around for that drop rate.

Yup, we run 'em. They're quite good. One of the few spring companies out there that you can trust.

I had a set of these springs on my tc until I went to bags. I loved the drop and handling....lol and I am actually trying to seel them if you want a set cheap.

FlintC

i actually just installed these yesterday. much better. the drop is a lot lower than i thought it was gonna be, i think my koni struts are playing a part in that as well. if the snow melts and it warms up ill be installing the adjustable endlinks tomorrow

olmsteadfalls_tc

can you show pics of the drop i have these sitting in my room and i just wanna see what i should expect when i put them on.

FlintC

ill take pics tomorrow, but they arent settled, plus mine will be lower b/t of the konis

BLUEMEANIE

I had em on one of my old cars. Fantastic springs.

olmsteadfalls_tc

i would just like to get a idea of what it will look like when i install these. how much lower willl your car be because of the konis?

FlintC

good question, im not too sure. but i know when i had my htechs and stock struts i had a finger gap all round, after the konis there wasnt any gap lol

Are you running the off the shelf ones, or do you have custom spring rates?

adg016

For a road race car, the rate required is much, much more. =)
