I have Bilsteins on my mk2 golf, the low grade ones, the OEM replacement type.when I brake hard, the front drops all the way (soft springs) but then recovers without any wobble as it should, handling is superb.I tried Koni adjustables on my brothers mk3, but they needed to be recharged quite often so I temporarily swapped them for a pair of Monroe Sensatrac I had around.never swapped back, they might not be as good, but last way longer than the Konis.also have Monroe on my Clio, way better than stock shocks (Kyb).
Bump... any other recommendations ??I'm on my third set of KYBs in as many years and wanna try something else, without going all the way to Bils.
Quote from: "Vincent Waldon"Bump... any other recommendations ??I'm on my third set of KYBs in as many years and wanna try something else, without going all the way to Bils.I threw on a set of Bilstein Tourings on the wife's MK 3 Golf this week. Great shocks for the price, I ordered from German Auto Parts and got them for $260 for a set all around. Way cheaper than the Sach/Boge equivalents locally.I have no idea if they'll last, but they supposedly have a lifetime warranty for the original owner.
