Vogtland German Fit Springs?

Anyone heard of these? I'm curious.

eBay Motors: VOGTLAND GERMAN SPRINGS HONDA FIT 06 to 08 drop 1.5" (item 120319869200 end time Oct-27-08 14:59:37 PDT)

Also I was wondering if these would be a not-bad idea for replacement rotors and pads:
eBay Motors: 07-09 Honda Fit FRONT BRAKE ROTORS & CERAMIC PADS (item 320302784028 end time Oct-21-08 23:41:08 PDT)
cheap crossdrilled/slotted rotors with ceramic pads. I dunno how reliable they could be for $100 lol

Yep! Well he used to..I think they are now on this other Fit..?

I was looking into these..but the people I usually order my stuff from haven't heard of them (which I thought was strange). I hear they're a big company when it comes to German cars like VW and stuff. I had asked my bf's brother about them, because he's a VW fan.

I love the Vogtland Springs. I believe I was the first person on the forum with them.

^^ pict looks like the drop is pretty subtle and might work well with the stock
dampers.

okay so for now I'm deciding between Progress and Vogtland springs til coilovers next year. Both are a minor drop 1.3-1.5" Just enough to look good without having to drive around all scared. Decisions decisions..

Go Vogtland! They are a quality German spring manufacturer and are even used by some NASCAR teams and what I mean by this is that if NASCAR teams are willing to use them, then you can be assured that the quality is good and pretty trustworthy.

That is if you have decided not to go the route of coilovers... cough cough.

Just because they are not as well known as other spring manufacturers, does not mean they are not a quality well manufactured item.

Don't worry Endura-tech, I'm still getting your product! lol it's just in no way possible right now on my salary of ~20k and springs are like 10% of the cost of coilovers lol

I'll order the Vogtland's next month along with skunk2 exhaust FINALLY I'll be as happy as I want to be with this car lol
