Default Vogtland springs

Anyone using these springs or heard of them? Supposedly this company supplies major racing teams and sanctioning bodies with their products

my question in particular is thier new springs for the 93-02 Fbody. Vogtland lowering performance spring, this is the email response i received when i asked about the specs of the spring itself:

"Front rate is 440-542. The 440 is only for preload and the spring usually is in the 542 range. The rears are 183-228 and they work in the 183 range ang only go into the 228 range when you are about to bottom out. They will drop the car 1.2 inches."

I was wondering if anyone is using or knows about them.. or any coments from Sam or Trackbird about using this spring over the eibach pro kit..

They make my springs for me. The quality is good, but the rates, well not so much. I went ahead with having springs made to my specs because I didn't think those were ideal. I sell Vogtland's regular springs as well as my own if you are inclined to use them. But the biggest reason I don't is because the rear springs are way, way, stiffer than I feel they should be (and they aren't the only company who does that).
