I am interested in getting the vogtland sport kit (http://www.pure-motorsport.com/products/description.php/II=144/CA=189/PA=7) and I was wondering what other suspension modifications I should take into consideration?

why not just start with that and see how you like it?

Although I would suggest getting the Vogtland springs and Koni shocks individually so that you can get the externally adjustable shocks. The ones in the kit are not externally adjustable.

Ok, thanks. How much did it cost you to buy your suspension kit and installation?

Also, do clear corners refer to the rear blinkers?

Springs (http://www.pure-motorsport.com/products/description.php/II=142/CA=153/PA=7)
shocks (http://www.pure-motorsport.com/products/description.php/II=176/CA=176/PA=7)

the ones beside the headlight...

Are the Koni shocks better than the Vogtland shocks?

What wheels do you recommend? I want some thin spoked racing wheels.

Yes, buying seperately gets you externally adjustable shocks. I don't think the ones in the kit are adjustable

I'm the wrong person to ask if you like thin spokes...I don't... notice the Carlsson 1/6 in my sig. ;)

I can't find externally adjustable shocks for my 1995 C280. It seems that they only make them for 96 and later.

Now the question is...
Should I get Blistein Shocks with Vogtland Springs = $500?
OR
Should I just get the Vogtland Sport Suspension kit = $570?

I have heard the Blisteins are really nice.

Better of with H&R sport springs and Bilstein sport shocks. That's my best suggestion. ;)
