Vogtland springs are what I run. From what I've read they're the most similar to the GMPP springs, which I believe you have on the Daytona?

 

[Mook]

gmpp on the daytona. link to your springs?

 

[Bru]

I don't remember where I bought them from but here's what popped up in google

i cant remember how your car rides...but you happy w/ them? like the drop? i assume you did something to take care of the pogo?

 

[Bru]

Yep, pogo washers and love how it rides. Not bouncy at all, body control is handled well for what it is with the upgraded sways and springs. The drop is mild but even all the way around.

This is right when they went on without much settle. With the stock 16s the tires fill in the wheel gap better.

With 16s:

i really like the gmpp's...not too harsh. vogtland sound good to me. cheaper than ssc too. im reading that the scc's ride a bit harsh. this would be for colleen's car and harsh isnt what im going for.

 

[Bru]

She can drive mine whenever and see if it suits her.

 

[Mook]

damn, 193 shipped. HMMM

 

[Mook]

gmpp sways for dirt cheap on ebay as well. cheaper than zzp by like 40 bucks WITH shipping. dont think i need to spend the extra on bmr trailing arms, zzp should do.

so ive got springs, sways and trailing arms all in my cart from various sites boredom is dangerous.

 

[Bru]

Damn dude Sounds like a solid setup though. Some good tires should compliment all of those parts really well.

I was always under the impression that Vogtland = GMPP, I have no idea if that's true though...

The SSC cars I've ridden in seemed relatively tame ride-wise, but not as nice as GMPP.

I have sprints, they suck all sorts of balls, they're the same outfit as springtech, also notorious suckers of balls.

vogtland makes the gmpp springs (which obviously no longer exist).

im gonna just get vogtlands.

Good, that's what I thought...nice to know I still remember a few things about these things.

The SSC springs on my GXP and very nice and have a lifetime warranty. No questions asked when I said that I needed a new set because my springs were starting to get some rust.

ive got the ssc, the ride is tolerable. along with gmpp sway bars and trailing arms, off ramps arent too bad for a pig fwd car

Vogtland made the GMPP springs...IIRC they are actually identical. I also have the GMPP's, and they are probably the best all-round springs for the GTP. Many of the stiffer/lower drops are great when fresh, but settle within a season...and suck hard after that.

I had a set of the SLP's previously on my own car, and they sucked after 6 months. Car looked like it was bagged within 2 years...car scraped on everything. I've driven many different GTP set-ups, and the only one I could live with for street car was the GMPP's.

If you haven't yet, the GMPP springs are GREAT with the upgrade GMPP bars/trailing arms; especially full weight. I did all but the front sway when my car was still light, but now it's back to full weight am craving the stiffness of the bigger front bar. It's not as great for WOT acceleration (traction), but the car has a great cornering feel.

 

[Mook]

ya...i'm gonna pick up the vogtland springs, gmpp sways and probably just the zzp or bmr trailing. unless i come across gmpp trailing arms.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Damn colleens car is gonna be decked out!

 

[Yaj Yak]

i have ssc only in the front on adjustable konis.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

How much are those sways you found? Summit carries them but I couldn't find trailing arms.

[Mook]

the rear sway is thru an ebay dealer and the front is thru summit.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

This looks tubular to me. I'm on my phone though.

Well, I'm not a fan of the BMR trailing arms...they weigh a lot more then the GMPP's. Suspension is not a great place to add weight (rougher ride). The trails just need to be stiffened so they don't sag...they really don't see the kid of forces the front end does.

If I was still making the spherical front jobbies, I would try and steer you in that direction. It's a night/day difference in feel, and not harsh.
