Default Pictures with new Vogtland Springs

Hey guys - as promised, here are some pictures of my 1993 GS with the new Vogtland springs. The actual lowering of ride height is 1.25" front and 1.75" rear. I had the original shocks and struts on the car before (228k miles) so the feel of the ride has changed dramatically. Obviously, the feel is tighter and more confident. I don't have much to compare it to; but, I'm very happy with the new setup. I also installed KYB GR2s. Here are some pics (first is before, second is after):

Paid 240 for all four springs; about the same for the 4 KYB GR2s.

Not a MKIV setup... just a plain old GS300 with some shocks/springs and 18" GS430 wheels.

Considering an engine swap if/when the engine starts to concern me. For now, we'll just do some additional cosmetic mods and drive it!
