Bilstien shocks are designed for off-road and to keep you on the ground at higher speeds. I love Bilstein.

Pros: good for off-road, stable at high speeds
Cons: less comfortable ride

Sachs Shock absorbers

I had the Seat Toledo, a rebadged Skoda Rapid basically. I changed the OEM shocks to aftermarket. The owner of the shop told me that VAG group uses Sachs, so i fitted Sachs. I hated it. The ride became a lot firmer, uncomfortable and annoying. However handing improved and the car felt more planted on the road. Asked the guy about it and told me that aftermarket shocks are generally firmer than OEM even if they come from the same company. Depends on what you prioritise. Comfort or handling.

Pros: handling improved, car felt planted
Cons: firmer ride, uncomfortable, annoying
Vehicle: Seat Toledo
