So i just had to order a 2nd set last night..
Did you replace the strut mounts?

I have the Eibach pro-kit (and steeda strut plates). I like the look and performance is great (cornering), but the ride is definately not stock, not happy with the ride yet. I am hoping that if I get new struts and shocks I'll be back close to stock.

See lowered pics (sorry about three, meant to post side view only)

Hey Russ, I'm curious; how do you like those? Did you also change the dampers?

I just got those same Vogtlands, along with a set of Konis (yesterday). Haven't had a chance to stick 'em on yet. I'm wondering if I'll need to replace the upper strut mount, as I think my '08 should already have the improved "no pop, no chuckle" mounts...

Nope, I had them fix my end link for $70.00.. i kept the factory strut mounts.. They haven't given me any problems yet, so i am not replacing them.. Plus i am in major debt right now.. ...

I have Vogtland springs too. Does your car ride like a truck? Mine does. It so freakin' stiff. Just wondering if you have the same jarring ride as I do.

I think that 300LBS of salt in the trunk make my car drive and look better :-)
