The strada's suspension was upgraded to ironman shocks kaya very comfortable to drive. It may not be as torquey as the hilux for speed but it is powerful.
I think stiff sway bars and good tires make any car feel sporty, but sporty isn\u2019t always directly related to fun - anyone who has coilovers that are way too stiff can attest to this.
B8.5 S5 is the best Audi. Not too big, sleek, practical with the liftback tailgate. True quattro with a longitudinal engine and a torsen differential, and a very nice suspension and steering, though the shocks might use an upgrade if they haven't been replaced yet.
Some cheaper options like Tein Endurapro plus is fine too.
Here's what it took to bring this old diesel back: ...New Bilstein shocks...But every time I drive it, I feel good.
What i did to eliminate my bounce was adding air bags. change out the shackle bushing to either OEM or polyurethane, you choice i went with polyurethane. Your leafsprings are probably gone, especially if they are OEM. You can change them. But try out the air bags /shackle bushing and also shocks (bilstein) if you haven't yet. For my motorhome, when im loaded, i run around 80psi non loaded 50psi no bounce even when driving on dirt roads to campground.
Shocks/struts will go soon on this first.
For stock, I've heard decent things about Monroe shocks.
Service writer gave me a ticket for Bilstein front and rear shocks on a 17 tundra, had to rebuild the front struts with the new set. I assumed it was the oem replacement... There's a small snap ring on the shaft of the shock that adjusts the spring seat (also the spring seat in this picture is installed upside down, something I too figured out the hard way).
I used Bilstein OE VDC shocks (same spec as BMW OEM). The FRONT ride is extremely rough and harsh on small bumps. Feels like: the front suspension has almost no travel, every road imperfection hits hard, the front is much stiffer than it should be, and the rear feels normal/comfortable.
