Bilstein Left, Airlift right for MK6. Like I said before, they both have the same drop on my car. I just gained about 3 inches of lift with the Bilstein's, thus making my ride height WAY more comfortable.
Pros: comfortable ride height
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I like the ride of Bilstein HDs on stock springs. They're stiffer, but in no way uncomfortable.
Pros: stiffer ride, not uncomfortable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B5
Turns out the bushings between the strut body and insert were worn. New ones from Bilstein fixed the rattle.
Pros: fixed the rattle
Cons: bushings were worn
The Aero springs lowered my Arc about 0.5"F/0.6"R on the Bilstein HD's. The Aero springs, Bilstein HD's, and uprated Moog front swaybar end links made a huge difference on my car.
Pros: huge difference
Vehicle:
Saab
Front bilstein inserts and H&R springs, upper and lower bar, New front oem upper strut bearings, new oem ball joints and tie rod ends, front torsion bar poly urethane inserts, non power steering rack with poly urethane inserts
Pros: new oem ball joints
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Caddy
I would get these . Can't go wrong with Bilstein.
Pros: can't go wrong
When I went to Bilstein sports, I anticipated an increase in ride harshness - but was pleasantly surprised by a reduction harshness. Because the Bils have increased damping rates rebound vs. the GR-2's, so they are better able to damp the second half of a road surface impact - the part that bounces you up.
Pros: reduction harshness, increased damping
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Fox
Mine is stock height on the rear with Bilstein HDs for a Volvo 240. perfect match to stock shock length.
Pros: perfect match
Vehicle:
Volvo
Stock VW jack is worth jack! Its dangerous to use as many of us in this and other forums have had the jack collapse.
Cons: dangerous, jack collapse
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
