Rating 4.0

VW/Audi uses Sachs on some of the base models of their cars and SUVs. Those will be closer to original specifications, with longer service life and better performance than the KYBs.

Pros: longer service life

La única otra marca que consideraría seriamente sería Sachs, pero solo las cargadas con gas, diseñadas para reemplazar las unidades GTI originales.

Pros: diseñadas para unidades GTI

These rode very well for smooth roads and could absorb minor shocks very well and handled like a dream. The rears are tuned pretty stiff, but not too bad from the driver's side of things. The passengers wouldn't like it too much, but still it's more stiff than harsh.

Pros: smooth roads, handles well
Cons: stiff rear
Mileage: 10000 km

Sachs Shock absorbers

Now I have discovered something interesting. I have twice had to remove one of the Sachs shocks because the stop clip came out of the groove in the piston. I figured I must have overtightened the nut on top and pushed it off, so I only finger tightened it the second time. It slipped again. I looked at the clip groove on the Sachs piston and was shocked to see that instead of being square cut like the Bilstein, it was taper cut which obviously stupid. There is no way this clip is going to stay put unless I am able to modify the groove to give it a ledge for the clip to rest on.

Cons: stop clip came out
