Default Anyone have first hand experience comparing Vogtland springs with Vogtland C/O's?

I currently have Vogtland Club Spec springs and Bilstein dampers. I love the setup for the street, but it's a little softer than I would like for the track now that I'm getting to be a better driver. I've heard good things about the Vogtland C/O's but am concerned they might not be stiffer enough. Comments?

Default what are the spring rates on them? the C/O are 670f and 630r

the valving on the shocks are stiffer accordingly as well

Great, thanks. That's probably going to be a little soft. I'm working on the rates for the springs.

Default Front is 500-590 rear is 440-570 there not really a "Track" setup

If you want a track setup, find linear springs, not progressive.

Really for the track you want at least 700f 600r & adjustable shocks.

I just installed my Vogland CO's yesterday, and from my butt it's feels like it's about 20% stiffer. But much less body roll, and nose dive on braking. I'm happy with them, but feel I could over drive it at the track.

Now the question is do you run R compound tires? If you are upgrading the suspension more, you HAVE to run R's out there.
