30/50 springs vogtland/H&R?

Post by MayanBMT »

I'm looking to get rid of the huge arch gap and seen these 2 seem to be a good budget option. Has anyone had experience with either of them? its a daily so i dont want to be spending a fortune on coilovers if i can get away with springs.
I dont mind the odd scrape on speedbumps but still need a bit of practicality and not make it undrivable.

Additionally, any advice on spacers? id be keeping the stock 185/60/15 for now.

On front no more than -35 mm spring with oem damper.50 looks brutal but ride comfort is horrible and your shock life, bushes, sway bar link, ball joints will fail faster.

35 mm in front with oem shock. Back is ok 50 mm. If you want lower and to have it all by PS you would need a sport shock or coilovers.

think i'll probably go with 30 front 50 rear for now. coilovers are a bit of a stretch at the moment.
