Shock absorbers Rancho or KONI

Original owner of a 2005 Reflex Silver 5MT 4Motion GLS wagon. Currently with 108,xxx miles. It has all options available for that year plus now with several mods incl: Votex ground effects kit and W8 rear bumper (painted to match) H&R lowering springs and Koni shocks Revo ECM flash (pushing about 21 psi boost)

The last GTI I drove was my 337 with coil overs. But I would never do anything that harsh again on a DD. The MS3 has been highly regarded for its handling since day one (although I can safely say the 1st gen shocks were poor - I just had Koni FSDs put in and it's night and day).

i have the double bellow bags and koni oranges which tend to be a lot cheaper than the yellows becuase they do not have adjustable dampening. they give me plenty of height in the rear.

I just got some and they are amazing (not to mention cheap)!!

I put Koni yellows and Mazdaspeed springs on my wife's MX-5 two summers ago and we both love it.

Stock springs with koni fsd. Many rave about them.

Koni 8610-1436 Inserts Leather style Vinyl 20th Anny Headliner (got this one super cheap ) Cupholder Console.. also super cheap

i have H&R sports and koni oranges on my mk4 jetta vr6 and i love the way my car drives

thanx km1 my setup is blue haldex, new koni FSDs, Eibach springs, all season 18" tires new at Christmas.

Those Koni's rusted out quickly on an old integra I had. Seemed cheap out of the box. Have had several Bilstein setups. Never an issue.
