I just installed my vogtlands yesterday and man it was a b!tch. Prying out the spring from the cup on the rear sucked.

Well on to struts and shocks, I'm going to purchase them soon and was wondering who was running koni yellows on their vogtlands. I originally wanted bilstein sports but I was unsure about the warranty and on top of that the price is pretty up there. My friend said yellows had lifetime, but I was unsure about the recommended spring drop for yellows.

Can anyone provide me w the information and also the procedure for installation?

Thanks in advance!

 

fyi, the bilsteins have lifetime warranties.

 

Konis or Bilsteins ??? anyone have first hand experience with both and a preference?

 

i'm in the same boat.. I was wondering if I should replace strut mounts while I'm doing the front struts? Or any other suspension parts while I have the shocks down? Anybody know? The installation looks straightforward as hell.

 

Straight forward? So just unbolt everything? What about the shocks, just unbolt the two nuts on top?

Good question^^^
Do I need to replace mounts and bushings or can I use the same ol'

changing the struts isn't that complicated.. I just need to make sure I have the proper support for the car. I'm going to pick up some jack stands and such.
