    Vgotland Springs - SOHC NA

    So I have a 93 SOHC Stealth and I wanted to know if Vogtland does lowering springs for the SOHC NA? I have no ECS so I cannot get the lowering springs that are listed on your website. Let me know, I am stacking up stuff to buy for the spring.
    Your 1993 Dodge Stealth is one of 6351 that received VIN numbers. Based on the order of the serial numbers, your car was the 5212nd out of the 6351 that were made that year.
    Your car was built in the 3rd week of February 1993. Of the 47380 vehicles made at the Nayoga plant, your car was the 40537th vehicle to be created that year.
    There are 281 other cars that were made with both the same interior and exterior color. There are 779 cars with the same exterior color and 2316 cars with the same interior color.
    Note: The production order is assigned based on the order of the serial number.

    Vogtland only offers the ones we carry. We've inquired about the other models and they do not have them.
    Thanks,

    Depends actually.... the difference is not SOHC and DOHC, but ECS and NON-ECS. A DOHC ES or Base 3000GT DOHC (91-96) will use the same springs and struts as a 91-96 SOHC Stealth or 97-99 SOHC 3000GT. But the earlier RT and SL with ECS will use different struts and springs.

    Let it be noted that the variations are really all in the rear as the front struts are all interchangeable.

    All that being said, you wont see much if any difference in height with springs on a SOHC. I remember Deathsled saying when he put lowering springs on his SOHC that it didn't drop the car at all and if he didn't know any better that he thought it raised the car.

    I was doing my brakes and I found out that I have KYB GR2 Struts installed up front, I didn't catch what was installed in the rear... Think Vogtlands will fit that? Still Non-ECS... How is is that SL and ES/RT had ECS struts? I was under the impression ECS struts had ECS servos under strut tower caps and that ECS came only on TT models...

    Incorrect. ECS was on SL/RT and TT/VR4.

    And there is nothing special about GR2's. KYB makes the OEM struts anyway. GR2's are a direct replacement for non ECS OE struts.

    If you want to go cheap then Ground Control "coilovers" which will eventually blow your struts out, or go with K Sport or Megan Racing (my preference) coilovers.

    I want to go with springs because the coilovers are way expensive... Do they not make a set of springs to drop the car an inch or so other than Eibachs?
