The Vogtlands are pretty much the best springs for these cars.
Since the drop is minimal, many run them on stock struts with good results. You made want to put the anti-pogo's on the front however they're not needed. Same with shorter dogbones, you're simply not lowering enough for it to matter at this point.
You'll enjoy the drop and the ride!

You shouldn't use older gen springs. Look at Canuck Motorsports, they sell lowering springs for the 2006-07. I have their's on mine.

Good evening everyone... So, it finally happened, my Vogtland Springs are now installed...
... I really like the drop in the back and the front is also down... My question for the folks that have lowered is - did the back drop more than the front?
... I have about a 1/2" differnece between back and front (higher in the front)...... Will the front settle in that much?... I know you can shorten the rear, but however it does not look like the front can be cut?... Now for the good news, the ride quality is considerably stiffer than stock and still very comfortable... The front barely sags under breaking, I love that... Cornering is stiff and certain, very nice feel... Steering is much more precise, combination of stiff springs and the anti-pogo washers which make a huge difference... All in all, I am very pleased, even if I can't level the front, it is barely noticeable except to me...... Highly recommend this mod...

Post a picture or two of the whole car (from a distance) when you get a chance. I know what you're talking about but it's a bit hard to see how the car sits in the pictures you have here. Glad you like the ride quality.
