Vogtland / Bilstein Sport Spring Pads #'s
I have bought the shocks and springs, but for the life of me can not figure out which pads to use. I am looking for level and about an 3/4" to an 1" of wheel clearance with no rubbing issues with passengers.
I read every post and have seen every pad combination imaginable.... 1/4, 5/3, 5/4, 1/1, 2/2 etc....
The most used combination with this shock/spring combo seems to be 5F/4R pad s. Please share a picture of your car if you are using Vogtlands and Bilstein Sports and which pad combo it is riding on. A picture tells a thousand words....
I will be using stock 17" wheels and spacers after the fact if the clearances will allow.
Thanks in advance,

Thank you for the reply.
Please post pictures so I know what to do.
Do you know what pads came on your car?
How is the ride quality and cornering sway. Better than OEM?
Look forward to reply!
