Hey guys, I recently picked up some volgtland lowering springs. After checking their website (http://www.vogtland-...portsprings.asp), I found that the springs that fit the 850 and s70 do not have the same part number or give the same drop as the springs for the c70. Anyone have any experience with these springs? Or have any idea why they wouldn't be right for my c70? Thanks

the spring rates might be different between c70 and 850 part numbers due to the extra weight from the potential convertible top. I mean... totally a guess. but it could be something like that. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

JVC is right, the different part numbers refer to the different spring rates, mainly the rear springs I believe. I'm running the sedan springs on my wagon and its fine. As for your C70, they should fit but I would keep an eye out for rubbing in the rear from the extra weight of the convertible.

It's a coupe, not a vert, but you guys might be on to something.
