Well, it's home and boy oh boy does it feel tight as a drum ????????

It's firmer than the Sachs/Eibach combo; but not stupidly - you still feel the bumps, lumps and potholes as I did before, but there's no 'crashyness' over them; it just rides over them now

Pros: firmer, no crashyness
Cons: still feel bumps
Vehicle: BMW

Family member has a f30 with b8s and I've had countless cars on stiff coilovers. I ended up doing koni orange (str.t) and Hr springs. Feels like a click above fresh factory suspension. Tight and responsive but never jarring. Iirc koni yellows on a lower setting can achieve the same feeling.

Pros: tight and responsive
Cons: never jarring

I had the Seat Toledo, a rebadged Skoda Rapid basically. I changed the OEM shocks to aftermarket. The owner of the shop told me that VAG group uses Sachs, so i fitted Sachs. I hated it. The ride became a lot firmer, uncomfortable and annoying. However handing improved and the car felt more planted on the road. Asked the guy about it and told me that aftermarket shocks are generally firmer than OEM even if they come from the same company. Depends on what you prioritise. Comfort or handling.

Pros: handling improved, car felt planted
Cons: firmer ride, uncomfortable, annoying
Vehicle: Seat Toledo

I went back to OEM after Koni Yellows with Eibach springs on both. The freeways in SoCal were too rough and it felt like I was crashing constantly

Cons: too rough, crashing constantly
Vehicle: BMW
