Hey guys i need help deciding what to do with my suspension setup. i bought vogtland lowering springs(1.6 front, 1.2 rear) some time ago but i havent installed them because i dont want to take my whole setup apart again when my shocks and struts blow.

My question is: which shocks and struts should i buy to go with my springs? Also can i just buy the shocks for the front since the car will sit lower there, therefore decreasing the life of the shocks much more? im a not worried about the back since its just 1.2 inches. trd springs lower that much and many people dont have to replace their struts and/or shocks for a long period of time.

Tell me what you all think about this and let me know. thanks in advance!

 

if your gonna get a set up its best to get front and rear no matter what. sooner or later the oem struts will blow. But i guess you don't have to replace it until then. So far the top 3 struts are the tokiko, koni yellows, and the trds. I haven't really heard of vogtland springs though.

 

yea they are not that know in the community but vogtland makes quality parts for bmw and audi. they are mostly known on europe. well the reason why i ask is because i really dont have the money for the shocks and struts and because of the reason i said before.

 

well honestly i would save up for coilovers. Cus it will benefit you more in the long run. you know what i mean?
