I installed Vogtland coil overs yesterday
My first impression is WOW. No more porpoising when braking or accelerating, flat around corners, and not too rough of a ride. The car seems easier to drive smoothly. I'm thrilled with them!
I did the install myself with the (considerable)help of 4 friends, and it took 4 hours of fairly dedicated work (with a fair amount of beer drinking intermingled). I recommend this as a DIY project. One note, Startup Racing's web site suggests 4.5" thread front and 2.25" rear gives a fender opening height of 26". On my car it is more like 26.5" and 26.75". It looked like an Allroad when I was done. I assume it will settle a little bit, but I'd be lying if I said I was thrilled with the ride height at those suggested measurements.

I adjusted them down to 25.75 today and like it pretty well.
I will bring it down further in the spring if it hasn't settled. At what height do you think rolling is required?

I agree with the suggested measurements giving a very stock-height result
I dropped it another 1" F&R...
and absolutely love them.
I really enjoy the combination w/ the H-sports too!
