Shock absorbers KONI or Dobinsons

I love the Koni Special Actives I put on my 530i daily. Comfortable on the highway, great and control in the twisties.

It has new Koni orange shocks/struts with lowering springs.

Koni Special Active shocks are really good on these cars if looking for a fast road/light track set up. I previously put them on a 993 so opted to get them on the 996 too.

Koni Orange (STR.T) works fine with Voghtland springs and is not overly expensive.

Boas, tive um Golf V durante 12 anos. Usei molas de rebaixamento + amortecedores sport (koni), usei suspensão original com molas de rebaixamento e por fim usei coilovers.

I have Koni reds. I just wanted to rid of the wafty ride, and it fixed it up. It is a little too firm now for my liking but still better than original

Personally I went Dobinson MRAs which have handled outback travel and tough tracks. Some prefer them revalved but mine is heavy enough to work well with them. Unlike their springs it seems to be a decent product.

I ripped them out the same week and went for Dobinsons MRR. Honestly? Night and day. The ride is smoother on-road, planted in corners, and off-road they just eat up washboards and corrugations. I’ve hammered them through tracks that would’ve rattled the Bilsteins to death, and they haven’t skipped a beat.

I've been using the Koni Golds (FSD) for many thousands of miles. They are really really good at 80mph, but in town they shake my teeth loose and bump and klunk like crazy.

They used cheap shit quickstruts. Buy new OEM springs and Koni shocks and it will be back to normal.
