What is the real spring rates on the Vogtland C/O? Is it 550F/490R or is it 670F/630R (NOT GT KIT)

what is "real" when you're talking about a progressive spring?
it's 670f/620r, btw, at the <b>max</b> according to both PureMS & StartUp. will you get to that rate in use? doubtful.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2611539.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2611539.phtml</a></li></ul>

Posted nearly 4 years ago to the date. With dyno
Back when we first introduced Vogtland coilovers to the Audi/VW scene.

These are still one of our most popular coilovers!
The first set of numbers is a kit that is no longer available.

"Front 62.2-64.8N/mm (351.6-366.3lb/in)" <= is that a typo for the first set? 15 lb/in
range in the progressive front with so much more range on the 2nd sets front springs (~300lb/in range)? also the rear springs have a huge range too.
that doesn't make sense to me at all. seems like the first car's balance would be way off if the rear was working like the 2nd car's (identical rates), but the front's didn't have a similar ramp up in spring rates.

"The first set of numbers is a kit that is no longer available." It was originally a 1.6L/1.8L kit
Vogtland US thought it would work on the 1.8T, but we tested it and discovered it sucked so we had them discontinue it and only carry the 968417, the second set of numbers listed.
