Shock absorbers Bilstein or OEM Volkswagen

I replaced all four shocks/struts with Bilsteins, reusing the Tein springs. This time the setup is awesome. Much improved handling and ride.

Had 4600s on my 93 k1500, and they were great until they wore out.

I've been impressed with the set of Bilsteins I have on my truck, and they're reasonably priced too.

The R also still had factory shocks and also needed to be replaced, so I went with Bilstein HD shocks all around. The HD's had awesome reviews and were cheaper than the Koni FSD shocks.

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.

I think it is very likely that your low front end is caused by the wrong shocks being installed for the heavy W8 engine.

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.

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.

Adore the bilstein HD's I have on my accord

I've had Bilstein Sports in the front and Bilstein HD in the back on my B4 PASSAT WAGON. Th eride was way too firm.
