I was going togo this route when I had my TA but that shit was back ordered for months. I went with hotchkis springs. I also got a set of Bilstein HD shocks installed at the time.
Looks like Speed INC sells Vogtland springs if you wanted to buy something local.

"Manufactured in Hagen, Germany these springs are made with a VVS alloy resulting in an 30% lighter weight than the average aftermarket spring."

I did the Ebach pro set. 1 inch drop front and rear. I got a 12.9 @108 with just a set of headers and a cold air intake. I also did the bilstein shocks f&r. It was a much better ride than stock. Also had them on my car for 5 years now with out any sagging problems.
I'm happy with them, I'd recommend them to a friend

I'll consider that, I've heard that the strano way isnt bad for drag racing.
but yea aside from just me not liking how floaty the stock suspension feels on the road, I hate the wheel gap these cars have too.
YES YES THIS!
But he seemed to be looking for more all around duty than drag specific...
well i hate to steal the thread but..
yea Im not looking to turn this car into an AutoX champ, just need something to improve the stability and make things a little more interesting in the corners. and again, I really think these cars look 100X better when lowered.
anyway, I didn't want to hurt my 60' too much so I can't get too tight of a set-up, the cars an auto so I still see it more as a drag racer than a turning car.

If you want good in the twistes, good look, and okay launch go STRANO all the way!!!
IMHO nothing beats QA1's
My car was slammed on HAL QA1's w/ 275# springs and it launched like a beast.
Before some one says something yes I did drive it around like that but after a while I raised it backed up super easier when they are fully adjustable!!
Is this low enough for you? (Sorry for Cam phone quality)

i hate sam strano but you can't deny his knowledge. if you want all around awesomeness, his springs are the best you are going to get to be able to carve corners and still launch
i ran adjustable coilovers in the front and stock v6 springs in the rear

looked gangster but it also allowed for an suv to literally drive over me.

Seems like everyone loves strano springs but I'm on the side everyone hates.
I have eibachs front and rear with stock shocks and to top it off they're sportlines. But with no suspension at all other than those I cut a 1.8 60' last year.
I'll be adding a set of qa1's to the car though this year to see how it goes.

I dont mean to be an asshole but a 1.8X 60' is nothing to brag about. I was pulling low low 1.6X like 1.61-1.63 every time on a 2.73 none-the less in my car, which is still nothing to brag about either. You may not think your springs are hurting you that much, or you might be happy with the 1.8X 60' but nothing beats a QA1 setup for launching at the track.
Every time I see that yellow camaro I cry a little inside...

amazing springs and awesome guy to deal with, he knows his shit. he even took the time to talk to me about the setup once i got them and explained how to set everything for the setup i was looking for. i wouldnt even think of doing any other set of springs.
