Shock absorbers Sachs or OLD MAN EMU

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

I switched out to some medium Old Man Emus on my 2014 Limited after the stock XREAS system started leaking at 120k. Rides great and the slight lift allows me to get onto some steeper trails without worrying about pulling my front bumper off.

Old man emu are the best. Just fit those and thank me later.

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.

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.

Yeah OME’s for a good softer ride in an XJ but best option, best value and more available is Bilstein 5100s. Lots of great reviews of them

Oem sachs if you want them to last for a good amount of years.

I recently replaced them with the Sachs oe equivalent to save money. They’re a softer ride than the B4 and in hindsight, while not a bad purchase, I would have preferred the B4.

Glad you ruled out old man emu. I have them on my 100 and they are rough!
