My DCC struts and shocks blew out and I was about to bite the bullet and order isweep cancellers along with a set of bilstien b8s. You just saved me $500 and a lot of headache from a less than ideal delete.

Pros: saved money, avoided headache

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I live in CT and went back to stock springs with gas charged sporty shocks on my 84 GTI for the same reason. Car is 10x more fun to drive now IMO. Still sporty I'm running the stock springs with Bilstien in the back

Pros: more fun to drive

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Stay with HR Sports and get Bilstein 8s, add a GOLF R RSB take off at the same time and have it aligned. You'll have a great setup

Pros: great setup

Bilstein shocks and lowering springs, you retain a more comfortable ride whilst getting better handling and making the car a bit lower

Pros: comfortable ride, better handling

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I lifted my other 2004GX470 with some Bilsteins and springs (in back). It rode also great. I sold it to my mom and she loved it and the ride.

Pros: rode great

Vehicle: Lexus

From what I remember they have a stiff ride (any Bilstein equipped vehicle I've ever owned is stiff IMO) and they don't really flex that well.

Cons: stiff ride, doesn't flex
