Thanks for the heads-up. However, the spring rate is pretty much a non-issue.

For the B13, B14, and B15, Vogtland springs drop the car 1.6 inches. Leaving you with 1.4 inches of travel. That is not going work well with any struts, including CSK's.

I will make a phone calls next week to Voghtland in Germany. Sprecken zie English? I bet they won't divulge the spring rate, further I will bet it is too damn soft. I would guess they have NEVER tested those springs in actual working conditions. I will go so far as to assert that they have no idea what the stock travel is on our vehicles.

I'm a bit skeptical, perhaps becoming cynical, after calling all those "Other Spring" manufacturers as listed in this thread. They are all pretty much universally clueless.

However, I will add Vogtland springs to the list of "Other Springs." With a recommendation of "struts to use" as "No struts will work well with these springs."
