Replace OEM Sport Suspension with OEM standard Springs, new Bilstein B4 Shocks - $1500
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg
A 2” lift on Bilsteins 5100 shocks is the best bang for the buck.
Pros: best value
Vehicle:
Toyota
Can't go wrong with billstein 5100's set at an 1 1/2 lift to get the extended travel out of em.
Pros: extended travel, reliable performance
Vehicle:
Toyota
just did Bilstein B6s. I generally want an OEM feel, but tires are so much stickier now, so going B6 made sense.
Pros: good OEM feel, suitable for modern tires
Vehicle:
Porsche
Save the expense of paying for those shocks and go with Bilstein or Koni, buy the deflator/compressor and come out way ahead. Airing down makes a big difference.
Pros: save money, good alternative
Cons: stock suspension
Vehicle:
Nissan
I had a (similar) 2010 Golf 2.5 with B4s all around and they really can't be beat for the money. Slightly firmer ride than stock, nice handling, quite affordable.
Pros: nice handling, quite affordable
Cons: slightly firmer ride
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
For example I've got... Bilstein shocks/Koni Adjustable Shocks with Bilstein springs.
When I changed to Bilsteins, I reused the old shock mounts. Ideally I would've changed them too...
I tried Bilsteins B8 because they said AWD and FWD compatible, but nope and the holes won't align and same for some from Monroe. The spindle that accepts the struts won't align properly.
Cons: holes won't align properly
