So far it rides really smooth, much better than the OEM suspension that has most likely been.
The Bilstein B8's they have should be solid and properly valaved to the OE WRX spring rates. Bilstein makes good stuff.
Next Up Bilstein 5100 shocks (In the mail) Bilstein Steering Damper (In the mail)
My plan is to get the Eibach Pro-Kit with Bilstein B8 shocks/struts for my 2017 Golf Sportwagen. It's a decent amount of lowering 1.4" front and 1.2" rear. A lot of great reviews here and elsewhere on this combination.
Get bilstein struts. Suples springs. Lemforder bushings. Lemforder tie rods and ball joints.
I went with Bilstien shocks and dobinson springs. I have a family of four and a 2.5/1.5 lift with 285/70/17 with 17x9 rims. It’s our daily family vehicle.
I threw a used set on my convertible with the expectation of replacing them with a new set at some point but they ride so damn well I never ended up replacing them.
I went with the bilstien for the level on my 02 and it works really well.
My experience on a 2013 SEL (with lift spacers): - Bilstein B4’s. Pretty much the same as stock - Bilstein B6’s . Harsh. There’s a lot of gas force so you feel every ripple and bump in the road.
Not apples to apples comparison but I put Bilsteins on my f150 and wish I hadn’t. They are much stiffer, great for towing but not for everything else. Would go stock if I did it again
