Shock absorbers Bilstein or KONI

My 86 I\u2019m currently on cost me $14,000. After 4 years with it i have about $3,500-$4,000 worth of up upgrades. pads+ rotors

I run Bilstein B4s in my project Rabbit. The car rides and handles great now. I drove it to work not long after getting it back together, and it was a very smooth, quiet ride.

Bilstein B6 for stiffer suspension -- helped a ton with tire wear given our driving habits and locale. Much better ride in the twisties.

I’m running Whiteline springs with B8’s it’s similar to stock in ride comfort, but far more compliant and sticks to the road

well.

I did the same thing a few years ago, the b6’s have held up and ride better than stock

Replace OEM Sport Suspension with OEM standard Springs, new Bilstein B4 Shocks - $1500

A 2” lift on Bilsteins 5100 shocks is the best bang for the buck.

Can't go wrong with billstein 5100's set at an 1 1/2 lift to get the extended travel out of em.

Bilsteins obviously are great. My friend put Bilsteins on his and it's a bit stiff for a daily driver without a lift, imo, but you might not have the same problem or might not care as much lol

I put Bilstein on and although I loved the way it handled at speed, it was otherwise a disaster, way too stiff and raised the ride height, considerably due to the fact that they were dimensionally incorrect.
