Has anyone used these before?

Looking for a suspension upgrade and came across these...

Was wondering if anyone had any experience with these or the company. With the price of the Tokicos rising so high, suspension upgrades are at a premium.

The Vogtland springs are ok, but from that linked thread, you would be better off getting different struts.

If you decide to get the Vogtland springs, which can be had separately; there is a product review on them, you could probably get away with Monroe Sensatrac struts or similar. They don't bottom out nearly as bad as the Eibach springs will.

Ok guys... So I am just going to put some new struts on, I can deal with the springs. If I had more money I would replace both, but since the cheapest set of springs/struts is around $600, I will pass. My car is old, and I dont wanna dump too much more $$$ into it. So I am thinking of going with the KYB GR2 struts, they seem to be the best bang for the buck. What do you guys think? Also, I think I am going to need a few camber kits. Are they hard to put on, and which ones do you recommend? Lastly, If I am just replacing the struts, what all should I be replacing. Currently I plan on just changing the struts and the strut mounts. Anything else I should change?

If you are staying with the oem springs, there is no need for camber bolts. Unless the car is bent enough it can't be aligned.

I would go with new top hats/mounts with the new struts. As far as anything else, it depends on how anal you are about it. There is a rubber seat under the spring on the strut, that may need replaced if it is dry rotted or worn through. Jounce bumpers, I think generally hold up with age.

Alright cool. Well after I looked at everything, it almost seems as tho it is best just to get some Monroe quick struts or something similar. Then I dont have to buy strut mounts and everything separately. Anyone have an idea how the springs that come with them ride? Should be very similar to OEM, no?

And you mean the sway bar end links? Like these... http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-401-Dodge-Neo ... 2a154d3f5f

those look like shorty endlinks, if you're going with stock ride height you want regular ones. Also you'll only need to replace the rear ones.

That's IF you have a rear sway bar...

I do not have a rear one

Though, now that I am changing my struts, cant I get one?
I remember someone saying I had to get a bracket or something from old struts or from other cars that had a sway bar and weld them on. I cant remember exactly. But if the new struts I get allow me to add one, I will.

Yes, with the new aftermarket struts you can run a rear swaybar.
