Talking Vogtland Lowering Springs

Good evening everyone.... My wait is almost over... My Vogtland lowering springs have arrived...... They will lower her 1.2" in the rear and 1.26" in the front... Also, just received my anti-pogo washers from ZZP... I ordered 4 and received 2 red powder coated... My question is that missing 2 can I just put them in the front?...... I have read that is all you need, is this true?...... Any help would be appreciated... Thanks,

Sorry I can't help with your questions as I've never lowered a car so I have no knowledge on the subject.

But......I am very interested to see how your car looks when you get them installed

Please post some before and after pics if you can, as I've pondered the idea on lowering my car, only problem is that I don't know if I could get out of the car once I got in

I've now had two Monte Carlos lowered and I have NOT installed anti-pogo washers OR camber bolts in both cases and have been 100% okay. The fronts are more likely to walk around, or "pogo", than the rears but honestly I've never had an issue with that.

Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

I had the struts done last August (nothing special just Monroe Sensa-trac)... My rear is sagging a bit, so I can't wait to see the final result...

Nope, didn't need to do that either. Just make sure you get an alignment after everything is reinstalled.
