Shock absorbers KONI or Monroe

I still swear by the Koni Sports/Yellows. They're adjustable too. All the way soft, even with the Eibach Pro-Kit springs, was waaay more comfortable then the OEM "Sport suspension" (and with 19's).

The oranges are similar to yellows on full soft, but with a bit less low speed compression damping IIRC (basically, a bit more comfort oriented). They're a great way to get a better quality shock at a lower price point.

I am running Koni special active on my 2018 Alltrack, which is also riding on Golf R Estate springs. I like the ride, firm but not harsh. I had them installed after driving a friend's Alltrack that had the Koni special actives.

I did Koni Yellows set to softest dampening and H&R Sport Springs. Amazing handling, nice comfy ride.... until the roads get rough and they do frequently in CT. Manhole covers which always seem to be a mile below the surface are horrible... yes I always try and avoid but sometimes you can't.

I find the adjustability on my Yellows invaluable for fine tuning the car's behavior.

Monroe is a long-time name brand and what I buy. They have worked well for me.

I had two sets of the FSDs on my SportWagen with Eibach Pro and really liked them. I had replaced the first set under warranty at less than 40K miles due to failure of both one front and one rear.

These shocks replaced a 40k mile set of Koni yellows, which I always thought were a little stiff for the street though performed well the few times I had them on the track. My setup is what I thought it should have felt like from the factory. Great daily driver with all the control I need blasting the back roads. Doesn't crash over bumps and the damping is about perfect.

Installed used OEM AWD Tig springs/shocks Upgraded to Koni Yellow Tig shocks Installed SuperPro control arm bushings/brackets to bring alignment into spec and hopefully help with high speed steering vagueness

In my house we have two Passat CC, one from 2008 and one from 2010. Both have DCC suspension. Both have the same kilometers (120,000 km) and the same engine, but one of them has a different behavior than the other. It seems that the DCC, the \"active\" part, does not work. When I change from \"Comfort\" to \"Sport\" I do notice that they get harder, but when I enter a roundabout it seems that the outer shock absorbers do not harden. I have changed the 4 shock absorbers for new \"RideSense\" from Monroe, like the originals and the same thing continues to happen. The change between \"Comfort\" and \"Sport\" is also noticeable, but I do not perceive that the active function that regulates the suspension when cornering is working.
