I have had the H&R OE Sport/Koni Yellow combo on my '03 GLI for almost a year now. I think it is the perfect setup for a daily driver.
Pros: perfect setup, daily driver
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I'm on H&R Sport / Koni yellows myself, and it is a definite improvement.
Pros: definite improvement
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
If you decide to go with the Routan SE you could change out the rear shocks for Monroe Sensa Trac. They are load adjusting and will support the extra weight of towing. They were very easy to install on our SUV, provide better handling and the vehicle stays level with over 500 pounds loaded in the back.
Pros: easy to install, better handling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 58648
Bilsteins will make for a stiffer feeling ride, while having performance oriented valving and will last forever.
Pros: performance oriented valving, will last
Cons: stiffer feeling ride
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
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
thanx km1 my setup is blue haldex, new koni FSDs, Eibach springs, all season 18" tires new at Christmas.
Pros: new tires, new shocks
Cons: wheels slip
Vehicle:
Audi TT
I had Bilstein HDs on my 2003 Weekender, but finally decided the ride was too rough for me and switched them out for regular Bilsteins.
Pros: Quietest and smoothest ride
Cons: ride was too rough
Mileage: 120000 km
