Reviews of Bilstein shock absorbers

I use Bilstein sports (rabbit) in the rear and Bilstein sports for a 4k Quattro in the front.

Same plus a set of Bilstein HD's repaired our pathetic and unmanageable vanilla TDI.

I have the HDs and would not have it any other way. I love them! Plus I'm confident they'll last the life of my car.

It's 100% your shocks. Get some Bilstein touring shocks, or Konis and you'll bet set.

I'm almost positive that the standard Mk4 Bilstein sports will work fine... They are perfect for the drop you get with H&R springs so it seems they be a perfect swap out with the 337's 1" inch drop.

I am getting H&R race springs and bilsteins sports put on this weekend. I wanna get my wheels aligned after this.

My car is out of alignment too (neuspeed sport springs/bilstein shocks/17" rims). From what I am told, after having the car aligned 3 times, the only way I can get it back into alignment is to reinstall the stock springs / shocks.

A good starting point would be Sport Springs (Neuspeed Sport, H&R Sport) with Bilstein or Koni Adjustable shocks. The shocks will be the most expensive, but remember that they'll outlast the originals!

I think for the NS SofSports, the Bilstein HD's would actually be a decent, if slightly firm match. The SofSports, contrary to their name, are not soft springs. They are 30-45% stiffer than stock.
