My plan is to get the Eibach Pro-Kit with Bilstein B8 shocks/struts for my 2017 Golf Sportwagen. It's a decent amount of lowering 1.4" front and 1.2" rear. A lot of great reviews here and elsewhere on this combination.

Pros: great reviews, decent lowering

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Pros: daily family vehicle

Vehicle: Toyota 4runner

I threw a used set on my convertible with the expectation of replacing them with a new set at some point but they ride so damn well I never ended up replacing them.

Pros: excellent ride quality

I upgraded to Bilstein 5100 front and rear, keeping the front Toyota springs and replacing the rear springs with Old Man Emu 2895.

When towing my camper now, my 4Runner sits level and handles much more confidently.

Pros: sits level, handles confidently

Mileage: 140000 km
