Lowered Wagon
I bought this car with some lowering springs in the front made by Vogtland and the rear is on lowering links. I took a look at the shocks and struts and didn’t see any leakage. This car has about 113k miles on it and believe these are the original shocks and struts on it. The car seems to be a bit bouncy and hard going over bumps. This could just be the ride quality you get from lowering the car but was just curious if anyone else is experiencing this running a similar setup. Could the stock ride height and springs be much more comfortable?

I didn't know Vogtland made springs for the 212's. I had H&R springs on my wagon and they were extremely bouncy. The rear will be if too if you go to low on links with old shocks. I have switched to KW and raised the rear up a tad while replacing the struts and shocks. It's wonderful now.

They do make the kit for the 14-16. There are a number of members on here running the HAS kit. I don't see why it would be any different unless the spring rate is different due to the added weight of the AWD system up front. But unlikely.
