Shock absorbers KYB or KONI

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

I put the Excel-G's on my girlfriend's Trailblazer last year. They're better than the worn-out OEM suspension, and they were really cheap.

I've always like the GR2 for a regular street car. Sure, Bilsteins are objectively better, but there's nothing wrong with Excel-Gs, nee GR2.

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.

I always liked the Monte Carlo SS. While not a great car stock. It can be made into a fun car over time with out to big a hit at any one point. Poly graphite bushishings, Springs, kyb gas adjust or better shocks, fast ratio box, and add in some sway bars. You fixed the suspension issues that are most glaring with out extensive testing or work. The brakes you can add better calipers for decent grip, and finish it off with rotors/pads.

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.

I'll be utilizing KYB AGX 8-way dampening adjustable shocks.

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

Koni Sports on full soft aren't bad. I had them paired with DG springs and recently went back to OEM. I was really dissapointed. The small fraction of comfort I regained did not make up for the loss of performance or loss of aesthetics. The car actually rode smoother with the DG/Koni set up.

my uncle has KYB non-adjustable shocks/struts and they SUCK. I need a kidney transplant whenever i ride in his car. They are soo harsh and stiff, they actually reduce traction. No body roll, squat, or dive, but i wouldnt recommend them for a daily driver
