Can't find a supplier for Vogtland springs. Who is selling them for a C43?

Here is the link to the best price as they are $250.67 USD at vogtlandsuspensionusa.com. I just purchased mine for $201.54 yesterday. I am in the process of getting my former Konis back from my father in law as he wants the stock shocks back on. I will be dropping my C43 next weekend. Also, the difference between the two Koni shocks are that the more expensive ones are externally adjustable and the less expensive Konis are internally adjustable. The externally adjustable can be easily adjusted at any time by using the tool that is supplied with the shocks. It takes less than five minutes to change the settings by accessing them under the hood and behind the trunk liner.

Cheers

Thanks--Are you going to use Kmac's or a similar camber adjuster.

You're very welcome. I'm not certain as to whether I will be running adjustable camber arms until I see how the suspension settles after the drop. Every car settles differently as some report as having very little camber and some having extreme camber. I will make that decision a few weeks down the road.

If you have installed the Vogtlands please give me a measurement from wheel center to lip of fender. Still undecided on which spring to use.
Thanks for all of your imput.

Here is where I bought mine:

I believe I paid $250 + $25 for shipping when I got them over a year ago

EDIT:
Just checked and they do still offer them for the C43 @ $249.99 + shipping

If you are going to do that measurement, be sure to include which spring pad is used - they vary in thickness and will of course affect ride height.

Hey NKCTB or anyone else with Votgland springs.

Can we have a center of wheel to fender lip measurement. A lot of discussion on this subject & only way to come to a conclusion is measurements. A lot of you out there have Vogtland springs, give us a measurement.

I measured about 338mm at the front and about 330mm at the rear. This is with #4 pads at the rear and #5s at the front, these are the thickest pads available.

I will post before and after measurements this weekend. I had to delay lowering my car until then as I have been too busy with work.

Cheers
