Bilstein Shock absorbers
Lugboot
  • Body bounce:
Rating 2.0

I have had Bilstein HDs on my GLS for a couple years now and I also think they are too soft. Still too much body sway and roll, especially loaded for a trip, in my opinion.

Cons: too soft, too much body sway and roll
Vehicle: Volkswagen
