Best Strut assembly for Volkswagen Golf
No experience with the b16s but I went from lowering springs on stock struts to lowering springs on b8s and it made a world of a difference.
B8's are great. I run them on my MK7. But they need to be paired with more aggressive springs as the B8's are a shorter & stiffer strut. So softer springs will often bottom them out.
Like H&R Sports. Those are a popular combo with the B8 strut.
Yes, you'll notice a difference. As the car will have proper damping. Ride won't be as harsh, bumps won't be bouncy, cornering will be more definitive & sharp.
I have Eibach springs with Koni Sport struts. The ride is great and handling is really improved as well.
I also went with Koni STRs on H and R springs with powerflex 10mm lowering strut bushing and its a dream to drive. It takes these northeastern new york country roads in strides. Its never bottomed out. And the quality of the suspension just makes it a dream to drive. I drive it hard and it takes it.
I paired Bilstein B6 struts with H&R springs. Absolutely night-and-day. The car feels so much more secure and planted. The B6's shorter stroke and beefier build prove to be a great quality ride, even in comfort and normal mode. There's little-to-no dive, and the front corners are more responsive and poised under load.
I just have to say it's odd having suspension again. I didn't realize just how gone my suspension really was. I was so used to a stiff ride that now I feel like I'm floating around on a hovercraft. Strange.
I've actually got the FK hightec springs/koni str.t combo, and love it. handles great, and (imo) looks really good.
I\"ve had the high tec springs with koni str.t's for about 6 months & love 'em... wife hates 'em cuz the ride is pretty stiff now, but it lowered it just enough for my likes....
