Vogtland Spring and Stagg Strut Review

So this all started last December my first mini cooper s was a 06 auto it had a blown front strut. So i figured it would be a good time to upgrade the suspension but then it happen the transmission started to slip . So I traded that 1 in fast before it broke and picked up a 05 6 speed with 41k. The springs and struts sat in the box until last month while I did everything else to the engine. Got the HP were it needed to be and decided it was time to get the suspension up to speed. So I ordered my H-Sport rear camber links and H-Sport Competition Rear Sway Bar 25.5mm from Way Motor Works. Went to my uncles shop and we installed them went pretty smooth and got the alignment. I've had them on the car for about a month now and they feel great. I know the Stagg struts aren't the best but they feel great and the Vogtland springs work well to with a 1.2 drop. The mini feels so much better goin around turns, on ramps, off ramps its night and day. Over all I'm very pleased with the setup and at a great price. But there was 1 problem now that the mini handles like this my G35 coupe feels so soft I just spent $600 on a set of TEIN coilovers for it thanks mini cooper

Good to know Stagg struts work well. Vogtland does springs for Koni. While Koni gives em their struts. Decent German progressive springs.

Hey Blader,
I know it's been awhile since you installed Vogtland and stagg's. But wondering how they are still holding up? I have an 03 MCS with a bushing kit coming in and a need for the right spring and strut replacement. Would like to drop it but not much since it's a daily driver. Thanks man and appreciate any updated reviews.
