I don't know. I have the orange race lowering springs off e-bay. They sell for $60 to $70 dollars. They lower the car about an 1 1/2 inches and ride pritty firm but handle great. I have had them on for about 3 months and happy with them.

vogtland is a premium spring manufacturer. there are only a few spring manufacturers out there, h&r, eibach, tein, vogtland, and sprint are about the only ones...there are other co's that do manufacture, but they are industrial spring companies rather than automotive co's. vogtlands springs should be about the same as the h&r/maxspeed for comfort level, and performance on the level of eibach. i am compiling a comprehensive report on most of the springs available for the 5th gens...since that is the gen i own, but it should carry true to all gens. i am waiting on some more info from a few other companies to finish my research.

Vogtland does manufacture the springs for Tokico's suspension kits.

The Vogtland springs that you would buy separately will give you the same drop as what you'd get with the Tokico Illumina kit. Technically they could possibly be different, but they are most likely identical.

Either way, you're definitely looking at a spring that's comparable to H&R, Eibach, and Tein.
