my S6 has Bilstein Sports and I have a bit of oil in them in UrS4s and S6s, if you don't you risk having water getting in there
Owner reviews for strut assembly
If the shocks or struts are worn out already, and not in warranty, don't buy another set of low quality tire shop struts or shocks. Spend a little more money and get a decent set of name brand (Bilstein, Koni, or Boge Turbogas)struts and shocks with a lifetime warranty.
Yeah, New Konis Note: I am replacing my Strut Housings completely ,but you may choose to just replace your cartridges if you have the Struts that allow new cartridges to be used.
I have H&R race springs and bilstien sports on my GTI right now. They handle great and ride very very nice.
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....
IMHO, Bilstein struts are better than OEM Sachs and Boge struts. The units have a lifetime warranty, and are a great replacement!
I have bought Monroe struts for a toyota from rockauto, and swapped out the strut bearing and coil (With a spring-compressor) for the front. Everything was peachy until it got cold outside (40s) and the front right started clicking (not clunking!).
I put the Monro-matics on my 99 es300 a few years ago, one winter later I was back to replacing them. Monroe is generally my go to brand, but I will no longer buy their economy line.
Get Monroe/Gabriel/KYB instead of cheap no name crap like you linked to.
