Shock absorbers Bilstein or KONI

KONI Shock absorbers

I have Koni Yellows and stock springs on my '93 Corrrado SLC (VR6) that's in storage. I put the dampening right in the middle and they rode great and my Corrado handled great.

Pros: rode great, handled great
Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado

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

I installed them with the ECS 23mm bar. In retrospect I can't justify the additional price over say a Bilstein B6 (I installed those on my previous Jetta). I thought they would be smoother/more expensive riding than the Bilsteins, but you can still pick up every little expansion joint and imperfection in the road....unless that's what you are going for.

Pros: improves cornering
Cons: feel every imperfection

Running Koni FSD shocks and Eibach Pro-Kit, the Car is mostly used as a family car and wife, but wanted to stiffen things up a bit and close the gap in the wheel well area. Been running these for about 10 months and I LOVE the look, but the ride SUCKS!!! Its just way too bouncy for me and The amount of travel before the shock bottoms out seems like it is about 1\" (although I know it is more) and then you feel all that force through your body. It also seems very \"bouncy\", the ride in the passenger seats is even worse.

Pros: love the look
Cons: ride SUCKS, too bouncy
