At an absolute minimum, Sachs shocks are worth the money, they're perhaps the one thing that has the biggest impact on ride quality. Being a more complex part than control arms and such, a cheap brand isn't going to have anywhere near the same ride quality.
I've had them for about 1,000 miles or so. Do they "work miracles?" No, but they are a marked improvement over the OEM Sachs. They are quite firm when cornering and braking, but compliant over rough roads at normal speeds.
If your clutch has been slipping for a few months, it seems likely your flywheel may have some hot spots, and needs resurfaced at a minimum, in addition to a new clutch, pilot bushing, and throwout bearing.
I used to have a maxi and some grip tape on the flywheel, and just kicking the flywheel fast, like flicking a bic lighter itd start up
We also have really bad roads. Stock ride height and stock shock absorbers work very good. The factory specification is oil in the front and gas in the rear. We usually use Sachs on our cars.
If stock or mild performance gains, take the m20 flywheel and a stock m20 sachs clutch kit (bmw always sachs) and it will hold up very easily. They can hold way more torque than they are advertised for and last forever if not clutchkicked to hell.
I used sachs in the past with no issues.
I have this in my GTI. It's great.
Be aware that the "newer" Sachs kits have been a different manufacturer than FCC which makes the OEM clutch. Newer Sachs kit seems to be an exedy clutch and pressure plate.
I have a 2020 BRZ with SACHS performance shock absorbers. I’ve been having a rough ride. Subaru service center said the front struts are weak
