Shock absorbers Rancho or Sachs

amortizoare apate sacha - made in germany.

Rancho RS5000X shocks are a great affordable replacement that ride well, just paint the shock bodies to make them last longer and remove the sleeve they put over the shaft.

Back in May I replaced my rear shock absorbers with Sachs ones from a Mk7 Golf, as others on this forum had suggested. This actually made the rear suspension a little firmer but made a night and day difference to the ride quality at any speed. It made the car a bit more composed and settled at speed as well. Overall it's so much better.

A set of rancho 9000. The adjustment actually works and you can tell a difference. Probably best bang for your buck.

Ride quality isn’t noticeably different. Bilstein or Fox are great upgrades for the stock rancho badged shocks either way.

I love my rancho 5000s but used bilstiens on bigger trucks in the past and those do their job well still

I got some Ranchos on my 88 which have been great so far. Had them about 2 years, but I don’t go off-road, or at least hardcore anyway. They’re nice and firm

Currently running these. They aren't bad.

Pass on Rancho. I did a full set of them 4 years ago. Shop I had them done through is no longer in business. Even with receipts and invoices Rancho refuses to honor their warranty.

They are shit shocks anyways and should be replaced with bilstein 5100s as soon as possible.
