Owner reviews for shock absorbers

The answer is always the same. Bilstein 5100.

I have mildly upgraded shocks (koni active) but otherwise stock and the ride quality is pretty good

KYB makes good shocks, but I’m wary of most “quick struts” because almost all of them use the cheapest upper mounts and bearings possible.

Get factory msport springs and Bilstein B6s and roll on. The springs will give the car a slightly more aggressive look than base E91 hight while still giving each corner plenty of travel. The B6s will give you a tight, yet smooth ride.

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.

After installing new shocks felt like a completely different car. No body roll or nose dive.

Pedders has been doing this for years. Lick of red paint and a fancy label on home branded shock absorbers and slap on some markup.

They’re fine stock replacements, mine just started to leak after 4k years and roughly 20,000 miles

I just took the original rear shocks off an 07 Pilot with 240k miles. It was squishy.

Ich habe beim Golf 4 in der Familie Stark Stoßdämpfer verbaut und gammeln nach zwei Jahren.
