I finally got a chance to install the new Bilstein sport shocks today, despite the rain. I can't give a full review of them because it was rainy and wet today. But, they are significantly stiffer.

Pros: significantly stiffer

Has 3.5L head conversion - same as period Alpina B9. 5-speed, LSD, Bilsteins and Recaro interior all from factory. Great fun to drive. Very reliable - and even economical.

Pros: great fun to drive

I installed a complete set of Bilstien HD shocks on my EV this weekend. All I can say is wow, they transformed the ride! The old OEM shocks were shot, all four had zero rebound.

Pros: transformed the ride
Cons: old shocks were shot

Bilsteins will make for a stiffer feeling ride, while having performance oriented valving and will last forever.

Pros: performance oriented valving, will last
Cons: stiffer feeling ride

Bilstein Left, Airlift right for MK6. Like I said before, they both have the same drop on my car. I just gained about 3 inches of lift with the Bilstein's, thus making my ride height WAY more comfortable.

Pros: comfortable ride height

As you all can see, the dyno showed how the TC Sport are (as also advertised) pretty close to stock, if we look at the compression. The rebound is quiet more than stock thought. But from the graphs is pretty clear that the TC is not any near the advertised 10 or 20% stiffer than stock

Pros: rebound more than stock
Cons: not 10-20% stiffer
