FOX Shock absorbers

I've taken my non-res Fox 2.0s to Hatteras and all around the East Coast beaches and never had issues with them overheating. They're fantastic shocks

Pros: fantastic shocks, no overheating
Cons: don't look cool
Vehicle: Nissan

Bilstein Shock absorbers

Save the expense of paying for those shocks and go with Bilstein or Koni, buy the deflator/compressor and come out way ahead. Airing down makes a big difference.

Pros: save money, good alternative
Cons: stock suspension
Vehicle: Nissan

I had a (similar) 2010 Golf 2.5 with B4s all around and they really can't be beat for the money. Slightly firmer ride than stock, nice handling, quite affordable.

Pros: nice handling, quite affordable
Cons: slightly firmer ride

For me Sachs is the way to go for original quality and driving dynamics. I have Sachs on all 4 corners on both my W124s and they are great.

Pros: original quality, great driving dynamics

Ended up swapping the fronts for 5100’s, while for my drive style they handle exactly as i need them too it’s a lil harsh for me on the smaller bumps so i’m debating on going with a coilover or the next option up from bilstein

Pros: handle exactly as needed
Cons: lil harsh on bumps

I put Bilstein on and although I loved the way it handled at speed, it was otherwise a disaster, way too stiff and raised the ride height, considerably due to the fact that they were dimensionally incorrect.

Pros: handled well at speed
Cons: too stiff, raised ride height, dimensionally incorrect
