As an FYI, my car is lowered on VWR (almost twice the drop of driver gear) and has Bilstein B8 shocks as well, no other mods aside from the. I had zero problems with a Hunter drive-on alignment rack, and my tech was able to set the alignment to proper spec w/o issue. Car drives great.

Pros: Car drives great

Bilsteins - I have experience with since they were on my 2005 GLI from the factory and I loved how they handled. You could take that car into 45 mph corners at 60 and not a bit of sway or worry.

Pros: loved how they handled

Pair those with the Eibach Pro-Kit and it'll ride like a dream, seriously :thumbup: I was swapping different coilovers on my Tiguan trying to find the best setup, and just went that route (Eibach/Konis) a couple days ago....best decision ever.

Pros: ride like a dream

Finally got around to replacing the original worn out shocks. They had 83k miles and 13 years on them! I decided to go with the Bilstein HDs. In my opinion the ride is nearly perfect now. Virtually no bounce or see-sawing when going over speed humps.

Pros: nearly perfect ride

Hard for me to say, it's been a while since I had stock suspension in the car. The Koni's replaced some very old Boge Turbo Gas struts/shocks and Neuspeed springs, and there's a marked improvement from that setup. I currently have the Koni's set to medium firmness and not terribly low ride height, and so far I'm very pleased - but I'll probably futz with them a bit more as I drive it and things break in.

Pros: marked improvement from setup
Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado
