Vogtland springs?

Long time reader first time poster……..
Anyone know about vogtland lowering springs.?
I have read tons of posts about all the other springs and coilovers but haven’t seen anyone discuss these springs.
Would love to know if they ride better than H&R springs seeing they are about same drop.
I am planning a wide body kit on my X5 f15 and will need a drop, tired of the 4x4 wheel gap.
Great to meet everyone and have learned a lot over the years reading. I will do a post of my Mods so far and as I keep building.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Vogtland springs were great budget springs back in the day. But my last experience with them was E30 and E36 chassis. Didn't know they were still a thing. They were stiff/bouncy varying with the strut/shock you paired them with. I never put them on the quality of H&R springs paired if paired with Bilstein shocks/struts. But again, no direct experience with them on the F15 chassis.

I use BCR's on my E53 X5. And there are a few members using them on F15's here. I really enjoy them. Good adjustability (I run them clicked to the stiffer side, forget how many clicks) and still have decent compliance. Hard to beat $1000 for a decent coilover setup.

I did not do swift springs on the E53. I think sukh527 went with swift springs on his F15. Maybe he'll chime in. I know he had to wait quite a while to get his setup due to the supply shortages.

I have posted my E53 here before... but for the sake of pic whoring, here's my E53 on one of the 3 sisters here in the south Texas hill country:
