Default I feel that my Vogtland + H-sport setup is VERY neutral

you can coerce oversteer with the right input, but understeer is very minimal. I do suffer from spider bite on occasion when entering/exiting a steep driveway at an angle -- which is necessary so you don't scrape.

The guy last week said there was no pogo-ing and that is why he favored them above all others.

Default Not Vogtland COs, but at the 25.5" RH.

Default the gt kit installed last week, i am currently at 26 " all around, will need to adjust the setting

down to 25.5 " in a couple of days... got a chance to really drive the car this weekend.. i am currently coming from the hr/bilstein set up, my car also has ft and rear h-sports,.. once again, i can report at low and high speeds there is no po go at all with this set up, the highest speed that i reached was 140 mph ( late night and nobody around ) just to compare, i drove the same stretch of rd that my car would always po go on... after putting on about 200 miles over the weekend, i can still say that this is the best c/o for the money, HANDS DOWN !!!the dampening and spring rate is perfect for the street.. will have to see how they stand up n the track but since i will only track the car 4-5 times a yr, im sure they will be fine ...

Default just remember that if you get the vogtlands from another company and not startupracing

that you are not getting the vogtland "gt" kit( spring rates are stiffer on the gt kit from s/u racing....
