Shock absorbers KONI or OLD MAN EMU

Koni Sports :thumbup:

I never ran the vwr or the neuspeed but I did ran koni yellow on my mk4 and I liked them alot.

14 30th edition. 142k. Bought it with 6 miles.. 40 oil changes 5 fuel filter And 4 set of spark plugs.. 2 sets of koni shocks.

Pair those with the Eibach Pro-Kit and it'll ride like a dream, seriously :thumbup: I was swapping different coilovers on my Tiguan trying to find the best setup, and just went that route (Eibach/Konis) a couple days ago....best decision ever.

My son put Vogtland springs and Koni STR shocks on his MKIV GLI, ride height was nice and quality of ride was great.

Hard for me to say, it's been a while since I had stock suspension in the car. The Koni's replaced some very old Boge Turbo Gas struts/shocks and Neuspeed springs, and there's a marked improvement from that setup. I currently have the Koni's set to medium firmness and not terribly low ride height, and so far I'm very pleased - but I'll probably futz with them a bit more as I drive it and things break in.

I can recommend the FSDs, I replaced the stock (performance package) shocks on my 330i with FSDs, and it has the same feel while hard cornering, but soaks up low speed bumps much better. Not much different on high speed bumps, you really notice on the low speed stuff, like a small pothole or something.

I took the plunge and installed FSDs a couple weeks ago. I currently have them paired with Neuspeed sports which look progressive (which seems to scare most people away) but are linear once installed (dead coils compress leaving the rest at a linear rate and no feeling of a rate change while cornering). I only have 300-400 miles on them, and I am not a suspension guru, but here\u2019s my initial input. Also, this is with the stock all season tires and without an alignment (yet): The bumps on city streets with this combo are \"dulled\" but definitely still there. This combo is a bit more comfortable than stock but I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s radically different comfort-wise; however, it is also ~1.25\u201d lower and with a higher spring rate. General handling around town and \u201cspirited driving\u201d is improved with less movement all around. You get a more planted / hunkered down feeling. When pushed hard, the float/unsettledness is reduced but definitely still present, for example at higher speed mid-corner bumps.

I've also put koni fsd on my wife's x5 and added the factory sport springs which are firmer but not lower. The handling is marginally better and the ride is a little smoother than stock.

Ok, got the front Koni Yellow's on and have driven on them maybe 20mi set on minimum setting and car road very nice not really any difference from the 180K H&R's I took off other than I did notice improvement when worn rears were replaced.
