I wound up getting Bilsteins off Tire Rack. The Bilstein indicates the stroke is a little shorter for lowered vehicles, but I have yet to notice them topping out on me anywhere. I'm quite happy with Bilsteins, zero complaints.
The Bilstein struts have served me well, but it's time for coilovers.
I had an slc with bilstein struts and h&r sport springs. Felt really nice and solid without being too harsh.
The struts were pretty worn with the rod having much less resistance to movement (both extension and compression than the new replacement bilsteins.
I just got them for my Buick. I would say that they function just as well as stock and the car rides great. They are a TAD rougher than OE, if I turn the radio off they make a bit of strut noise over bumps.
I would get these . Can't go wrong with Bilstein.
My shop puts quickstruts in all the time. No complaints yet.
I settled for Monroe Quick-Struts which come assemble as front struts. And also bought the Monroe Shocks. At first they felt nice with very nice handling. But I got sick of them being too bouncy. It's as if riding a boat breaking small waves.
I've had so many monroes and gabriels shit the bed i cant recommend them to anyone anymore.
I have a 2018 GTI with about 15K on Bilstein B8's with MSS street springs. Today while leaving work I heard a pop and rattle from the front end of the car. Pulled over, inspected and found the strut nut sheared at the threads between the strut and the strut mount.
