Rating 4.5

I went with the Koni Red shock absorbers front and rear and am very pleased so far. I just got around to installing these a couple of months ago and have had a few trips and the ride quality is night and day difference. I also raised the front by tightening the torsion bars so the vehicle is nearly level with a slight rake (front lower). The ride is smooth and not harsh (no more bottoming out) with much less body roll on corners. The fronts were set one click from the hardest setting and the rear at 2 from the hardest setting.

Pros: smooth ride, not harsh, less body roll
Vehicle: Volkswagen

KONI Shock absorbers

I've had koni yellows with VWR springs for 3 weeks now with front and rear shocks on full firm. The front shock adjustment is easy, and the difference in a quater turn can be felt. Rear shocks can be adjusted, but require removal to do it.

Pros: easy front shock adjustment
Cons: rear shocks require removal

I've had mine on for a month now, in my opinion the ride is very firm...but not bouncy. Exactly what I wanted. The ride height is perfect, it's obvious that it is lowered (two fingers from tire to wheel arch), but still daily drivable.

Pros: ride is very firm
Cons: gravel road sucked

KONI Shock absorbers

I replaced them with Koni SRT.T with H&R Springs for the same money.... moral of the story... if you're going to buy coils, dont cheap out.

Pros: Koni SRT.T, H&R Springs
Cons: cheap coils don't last

Cons: car crashed on bumps
