Back in May I replaced my rear shock absorbers with Sachs ones from a Mk7 Golf, as others on this forum had suggested. This actually made the rear suspension a little firmer but made a night and day difference to the ride quality at any speed. It made the car a bit more composed and settled at speed as well. Overall it's so much better.

Pros: improved ride quality, more composed

Cons: slightly firmer suspension

Vehicle: Skoda Octavia

Mileage: 4800 km

Bottoming:

VW/Audi uses Sachs on some of the base models of their cars and SUVs. Those will be closer to original specifications, with longer service life and better performance than the KYBs.

Pros: longer service life

Had an 85' Jetta GLI: installed lowering springs (1/5" front, 1" rear, 40% stiffer? Hor brand? Pretty sure I picked them up from Autotech) and used HD standard struts (coilovers were not available and pretty sure I used Sach's struts).

Let me know...main reason I went with Sachs was stock like driveability with no chatter and less chance of crank walk compared to other set ups with SMF and high torque pressure plates

Pros: stock like driveability, no chatter

Cons: less chance of crank walk

I recently replaced them with the Sachs oe equivalent to save money. They’re a softer ride than the B4 and in hindsight, while not a bad purchase, I would have preferred the B4.

Pros: cost-effective, not bad purchase

Cons: softer ride than B4, preferred B4

Vehicle: BMW
