Shock absorbers Bilstein or KONI

just did Bilstein B6s. I generally want an OEM feel, but tires are so much stickier now, so going B6 made sense.

Save the expense of paying for those shocks and go with Bilstein or Koni, buy the deflator/compressor and come out way ahead. Airing down makes a big difference.

I had a (similar) 2010 Golf 2.5 with B4s all around and they really can't be beat for the money. Slightly firmer ride than stock, nice handling, quite affordable.

Koni all day, you simply can't beat the lifetime warranty on them. I had my rears leak after 5 years and Koni replaced for free.

For example I've got... Bilstein shocks/Koni Adjustable Shocks with Bilstein springs.

Shockworks makes good stuff and coilovers for a BF Falcon cost around $2500 + installation, a set of Bilstein shocks and King springs , cost me around $1500 , then add installation.

Don't replace the springs, just the shocks. Recommend Koni Special Actives for a bit better ride

So I went with Bilstein w/ H&R Sports. Also keeps with the H&R theme as the car came with an H&R RSB \ud83d\ude01. Suspension is finished now, also added Megan Racing Adjustable rear control arms, and it rides great now.

I have 5100s with 2.25" of lift and I've lost 2" of downtravel

I’m running Bilstein 5100 + ‘99 tall springs and the ride is a little too rough for my liking.
