Shock absorbers Bilstein or KYB

Got the HD's installed today and took the EV around town to see how it drove. Like Max and eric above, it definitely makes a nice difference. It just felt balanced and taught.

KYB GR-2 rear shocks to replace leaking originals - $115

I too decided on the Bilstein HD shocks front and rear. They are definitely better than the worn out stock shocks. The MV is flatter now in the corners, and dips in the road are not followed by the "dolphin dance".

I replaced the limp stock shocks on my 2002 Weekender recently. I used Bilstein B46-1911/12 (the "HD" ones). The ride manages to be both smoother and more controlled.

KYBs cost only a little bit more than comparable Monroes, and in my experience they're a lot nicer than Monroes.

I replaced the worn shocks in my 1.8T with some Bilstein TC (touring class, OE replacement shocks) a few years ago, and I liked them very much. Compared to the stock shocks on my 1.8T, they are a bit stiffer, but still extremely compliant.

The Bilstein sports in my corrado ride nicer than stock.

I think I saw someone mention Bilstein heavy duty shocks. I also recommend them. I love the way the van rides on these, and I don't consider it harsh at all.

Remove one of the clamps holding the rack and as I recall, loosen the other one or perhaps remove it as well (been over 10 years since I last did it). Then pull the rack away from the firewall, loosen the jam nut and screw in the adjuster a little. Will probably take you a few times to get the feel of the adjustment.

i have PSS10. it is either too soft, or too harsh... i settled at F4/R2... i also have H&R f+rsb both at soft tho...
