the EMPI oil filled are the way to go.
Pros: highly recommended
I got a set of the empi oil filled shocks and I haven't had any issues. They're comfortable and affordable.
Pros: comfortable, affordable, no issues
Shock Absorber is always a good thing to a lot while you're thinking about it.
Pros: good thing
I’m running Whiteline springs with B8’s it’s similar to stock in ride comfort, but far more compliant and sticks to the road
well.
Pros: more compliant, sticks to road
Cons: similar to stock
I did the same thing a few years ago, the b6’s have held up and ride better than stock
Pros: ride better than stock
Replace OEM Sport Suspension with OEM standard Springs, new Bilstein B4 Shocks - $1500
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg
I run kyb with tein springs on both of my spyders and they've been great
Pros: great performance
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
These seem like great value compared to the non-adjustable Koni Active Select’s I just self-fitted to my MY22 MIC Y ($1250 AUD). Same high speed wallow you mention and mismatch with the stiff springs.
Pros: great value
Cons: high speed wallow
I’m actually not a huge fan of the bilstein after having the 5100 on for a couple years now.
Cons: not a huge fan
