What Suspension are you runing on your mini?

I have had
H-sport
h&r springs
Now i have Vogtland springs

 

whats your review of the vogtlands?

 

Indeed how do you rate the vogtlands?

They have them here on sale together with Koni FSD shocks.
I haven't heard anything about vogtland springs yet.

 

Where is here?

I had Vogtlands on my Camry and Solara. Loved the ride!

 

Since I like to consider suspension as an entire system working together in concert, I've run these over the past 4 years:

1. Totally stock (didn't last more than one track weekend)
2. Stock with 19mm H&R rear swaybar
3. H&R's with 19mm H&R rear swaybar
4. H&R's with Bilstein SP's and with 19mm H&R rear swaybar (awesome setup, btw, won two autocross class championships with this setup)
5. H&R's with Bilstein SP's, 19mm H&R rear swaybar, camber plates and rear camber kit (even better!)
6. H&R's with Bilstein SP's, 19mm H&R rear swaybar, camber plates and rear camber kit, adjustable swaybar endlinks (we're getting warmer!)
7. Leda 24-way adjustable coilovers with a LOT of different springs and valving setups (when testing, to get them dialed in), camber plates and rear camber kit - oh, and the 19mm H&R rear swaybar (consider this to be the best setup to date, even for my daily driver)

As you can see, most of the time was spent tweaking the Bilstein/H&R setup, with the last year being spent on the Softcore TSW/Leda setup.

Our other car pretty much started on Ledas and stayed on Ledas (approx. 3 years) - although a more track oriented setup than the one on the other car...

 

Leda!

 

I kinda like my APEX springs. Not much difference in ride quality from stock, but they sure helped with body lean.

 

vogtlands with Koni FSD shocks is the best ride I had so far

 

From TSW,

TSW springs
Koni FSD
IE camber plates
IE rear control arms
IE rear sway

 

On our street car:

Koni Sport suspension (4 Koni adjustable Yellows shocks with Koni springs)

Race: coilovers

 

Scott, do you have it all installed and have some seat time yet? What are your impressions? I've got basically the same set-up in boxes - well, minus the FSDs, to be installed in a couple weeks. Care to give me a preview?

 

Not installed yet.........

Sometime in the next month or so and I will post a review. Still have to schedule the time with my buddy who is helping me with the install.

 

Ah. Mine's going in in a couple weeks, so I may beat you to the punch.

 

Strictly daily driver with occasional spirited driving on poker rallies, mountains, etc.

1. OEM "sport" package
2. Dumped the runflats and S-heavies = significant improvements in performance across the board tendendy to "follow the grooves" pretty much disappears
3. Added Alta 19mm rr sway at "stiff" = better turn-in, less roll, as promised
4. Added Koni FSDs = MUCH better ride and as-good or better handling. Friends who ride along comment on how flat the car corners. I notice that and how responsive it is.

I really like the feel now, but I am tempted to try the Tx. SpeedWerks springs and IE adjustable plates for evened out -1.5 to -2 in the front and a slightly (.5"? or so) lower stance.

Hoping to see and maybe ride in a like-modded car at AMVIV.

Anyone got the TSW/IE/FSD thing going on who is going to be there and willing to let me ride please PM me? Thanks.

 

M7 springs factory shocks. The ride is great, the peformance level is up, and the car stance is great.

Works pretty well as a daily driver / winter car in Vermont snow / autocross / track day car. Not the best for any of those, but seems to be a great compromise considering all the things I need my car to be capable of.

I'm very pleased with the track abilities of the car considering I can still drive it on the bad pavement of Vermont back roads and through the snow in the winter.

 

Your car indeed goes well on the track Jasen ...might have somthing to do with the driver
