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

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
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Took our new 2024 North American model Tiguan in for maintenance as there is a clear hard clunk from front suspension going over bumps. I know from experience this is the rebound setting failing and the shocks hitting the lowers hard enough to shudder the steering.

Cons: hard clunk over bumps
