Shock absorbers KONI or OEM Volkswagen

I have the yellow Koni with Progress springs. The ride is good, just a little bit lower than stock and still useable with our crappy roads and speed bumps. The yellows don’t have height adjust, but I don’t need that.

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

Looks fine, and acts like a shock. That shop just trying to scam you. Bump stops looking torn, but that's fine. Use them as long as possible, eventually upgrade to Koni Yellows if they make it for the Mini's.

I have the Koni yellows. Stick with OEM Sachs. Unless you are doing a ton of freeway miles, or want the feel of a go-cart(which is a little fun), the shocks are not worth the ride or the money. The ride is too stiff for street, but absolutely perfect on the highway cruising over 85mph for hours.

Took our new 2024 North American model Tiguan in for maintenance as there is a clear hard clunk from front suspension going over bumps. I know from experience this is the rebound setting failing and the shocks hitting the lowers hard enough to shudder the steering.
