Shock absorbers Rough Country or Sachs

Sachs Shock absorbers

My local BMW shop suggested the OEM replacement Sachs and I agreed. Im very happy with them. Made the bumps much more manageable while still retaining that BMW stiffness we love about these cars.

Pros: bumps manageable, retained stiffness
Vehicle: BMW

The difference is night and day, car is 30mm lower front and 15mm in the back. Feels more planted, feedback is more responsive and absorbs bumps a bit firmer but still feels nicer than the floatier stock setup. Previously would float into a corner whereas it feels predictable and how a Bimmer should.

Pros: more planted, responsive feedback
Cons: bumps a bit firmer
Mileage: 64373 km

If you are content with stock and just want to refresh, there are many options, but Sachs is a reliable stock brand for shocks.

Pros: reliable stock brand

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.

Pros: improved ride quality, more composed
Cons: slightly firmer suspension
Vehicle: Skoda Octavia
Mileage: 4800 km

15K later and all my RC shocks really do is keep my springs from falling out when flexing. Otherwise, they do nothing.

Pros: keeps springs from falling
Cons: otherwise, they do nothing

N3s are garbage, they rode so bad I thought I was going to wreck the truck, made the truck walk all over the road at any little bump. I ended up buying a set of bilstein 5100s and the truck rides great now. 2016 4x4 crew short

Pros: truck rides great
Cons: rode so bad
