Art - Gentle for sure until 1k which is now complete. I tested the rev limiter a few days ago. Works well at between 6.8k and 6.9k. Holds speed just fine. :D

Are you using rubber spring pads on them? Removing or using thinner ones is a good way to adjust ride height.


that's a good point, but considering the stock pads are about 1/8" thick, I'm thinking they compress to pretty much nothing after the springs are installed. Right now the new springs have lowered the rear of car about 1/2". I think after they get some wear on them they may drop a few more cm's. Time will tell. Right now I'm happy w/ the drop, but it could stand just a hair more.

I haven't noticed much difference in the ride, which is good, means the spring rate is pretty much what the vogtland springs were.
