Shock absorbers Sachs or OEM Volkswagen

Sachs Shock absorbers

  • Body bounce:
  • Bottoming:
Rating 4.0

I've had them for about 1,000 miles or so. Do they "work miracles?" No, but they are a marked improvement over the OEM Sachs. They are quite firm when cornering and braking, but compliant over rough roads at normal speeds.

Pros: marked improvement over OEM
Cons: quite firm
Mileage: 1000 km

We also have really bad roads. Stock ride height and stock shock absorbers work very good. The factory specification is oil in the front and gas in the rear. We usually use Sachs on our cars.

Pros: work very good

It is quite a hassle to change the fronts (the rear shocks however are a joke to change) so I would personally just go with the OEM = Sachs--as I did two months ago--if you can afford it and/or save up for it.

Pros: OEM quality, easy rear installation
Cons: hassle to change fronts
Vehicle: BMW

Muitas casas não gostam, aparentemente, porque é chato ganhar dinheiro com o cliente que conhece o suficiente para chegar lá com pastilhas ATE, discos Zimmermann Coat Z, casquilhos e braços SKF, amortecedores e kits de embraiagem Sachs e por aí adiante

Pros: material bom
Cons: material linha branca

cuando compré mi 330i tenía el amortiguador trasero del lado del conductor cagado. Más allá de que acá te matan con el precio de cazoletas y amortiguadores (hablamos de OE, o sea Sachs, etc.) no se consiguen los guardapolvos ni los topes superiores.

Cons: no se consiguen guardapolvos

I've had a number of BMWs and VWs with Sachs shocks leak after 40-50k miles. It's not like they totally fail and collapse, they just start having much slower rebound and faster compression.

Cons: slower rebound, faster compression

I have a 2020 BRZ with SACHS performance shock absorbers. I’ve been having a rough ride. Subaru service center said the front struts are weak

Cons: rough ride, weak front struts
