Shock absorbers Bilstein or KONI

After installing new shocks felt like a completely different car. No body roll or nose dive.

I did bilsteins and solved my problems.

I've been running them on my MK6 for about 40K miles. I'll never go back to standard shocks and struts. The adaptive dampening is a huge benefit on freeway drives since the expansion joints are completely removed from the ride. They are solid and planted for everyday driving and I've never felt the car was unstable.

I'm running Koni special actives on stock springs with 17" tires. There are a few threads over at https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php where it's pretty much agreed that they are OEM+. I put them in about a year ago and they are still great.

I have them on my ‘15 and I really like them so far. I’ve done 11k miles since I put them on. They are stiffer than oem but they soften up nicely with large impacts.

Bilsteins B6 perfect with 4 thick 7/16 washers.

+1 on the Koni Special Active, very comfortable ride. I kept my 17" wheels and upped the tires to 215/45R17 non-runflats, slightly wider and slightly more sidewall, much less stiff due to it not being runflat.

Koni special active (red) make a great difference. Had the yellows; really sharp. But the reds corner flatter and i can take corners faster. Car honestly feels like its way more modern.

I run Bilstein 5160’s on my 22 F250 but they’re pricey.

5100’s ride is horrible, you’ll regret not spending a couple extra bucks!!
