Here's my review of the Vogtland Club Kit that comes with the springs and a set of matched shocks.
This set me back about $517 (Aussie dollars) plus shipping.
I bought them from DemonTweeks and the part number is: VOG960585
I installed new Sachs front strut tops and new Sachs rear bump stops at the same time.
Do not use the shorter Seat Ibiza Cupra bump stops with this kit. The standard ones are required for the correct ride height and carrying capacity.
Front Spring Rate = 23N/mm
Rear Spring Rate = 15 - 21N/mm
*Not sure how correct these are as my email to Vogtland could have been lost in translation.
Looks: Very nice stance, not too low as we don't have amazing roads here. It sits 340mm from hub to guard, front and rear.
Comfort: I've had Whiteline and Eibach on standard shocks, these walk all over them. These are better at soaking up small bumps than standard and they handle big bumps as good as standard.
Performance: These may take some getting used to as they do soak up road imperfections better than stock, this translates to a little less confidence in corners initially (side effect of progressive springs). However once you throw it into some corners it will hunker down and sit flat throughout. Mid corner bumps are not an issue and it behaves very well, no skipping across the road.
Value: On my 6R, I blew the stock rear shocks and it cost me $200 AUD each to buy them from VW. So $517 for springs AND shocks is an absolute bargain here. The build quality is great and they went in without a hitch.
Anyone considering these over just springs and don't want to fork out more for coilovers, these are the bee's knees.
Edit: My car has 110,000km on it and the stock front shocks were pretty flogged. They pushed down with nearly no resistance and they returned pretty slowly.
