Shock absorbers KONI or Dobinsons

Finished the install today. Everything is perfect. Eibach prokit + koni Str.t shocks = perfection for NJ roads under $600. 26" ftg all around and ride is a great middle ground between coilovers and stock suspension. Rides like a stock gti. Which is exactly what I wanted. No floatiness, but you don't lose your fillings going over bumps. Very controlled and balanced ride. This is a fantastic pairing and you will not be disappointed.

Original owner of a 2005 Reflex Silver 5MT 4Motion GLS wagon. Currently with 108,xxx miles. It has all options available for that year plus now with several mods incl: Votex ground effects kit and W8 rear bumper (painted to match) H&R lowering springs and Koni shocks Revo ECM flash (pushing about 21 psi boost)

The last GTI I drove was my 337 with coil overs. But I would never do anything that harsh again on a DD. The MS3 has been highly regarded for its handling since day one (although I can safely say the 1st gen shocks were poor - I just had Koni FSDs put in and it's night and day).

i have the double bellow bags and koni oranges which tend to be a lot cheaper than the yellows becuase they do not have adjustable dampening. they give me plenty of height in the rear.

I just got some and they are amazing (not to mention cheap)!!

I put Koni yellows and Mazdaspeed springs on my wife's MX-5 two summers ago and we both love it.

Stock springs with koni fsd. Many rave about them.

Koni 8610-1436 Inserts Leather style Vinyl 20th Anny Headliner (got this one super cheap ) Cupholder Console.. also super cheap

i have H&R sports and koni oranges on my mk4 jetta vr6 and i love the way my car drives

Personally I think Koni Reds (better design and build quality, but the same soft ride, with performance gain), are too soft. I've had them on some of my other cars before, and I don't care for them. I've been much happier with the Bilsteins I've installed when compared to the Konis.
