I finished the install of my Vogtland springs some time ago but just posted some pics. I dont pretend to be an expert on suspension, but I have been VERY happy with the results. Turns are tight and smooth, the car feels stiffer and in much better control. Even my girlfriend noticed a considerable difference to driving her car. So check out the PICS section for before and after shots.

I also used GR-2 Gas struts which I have also been very happy with.

The webswite where I bought everything is here... AJUSA Link
the company is local to San Diego and has excellent customer service.

Those GR-2 shocks are stock replacements and are not valved to handle lowering springs. You may not get the life out of them that you hope. Just FYI... Stock SVT struts are actually stiffer.

Thanks for the input. I got these because all the stores that carry them say they work great for both stock and lowered cars. They may have been trying to make a sale, but here's another San Diego website that sells them too. Mantaray Motorsports Struts

All in all they seem like a well priced alternative with good results

The AGX's are awesome and even the GR-2's for other cars are good for lowered cars (I had similar KYB's on my old Porsche that were great), but the one's specifically for our cars are merely stock replacement shocks.

I do hope they work fine for you and last for a significant amount of time. Not trying to be a d*ck just giving you info so that you are aware of their limitations.

Here is a thread with other link in it as well:
