I never ran the vwr or the neuspeed but I did ran koni yellow on my mk4 and I liked them alot.
As an FYI, my car is lowered on VWR (almost twice the drop of driver gear) and has Bilstein B8 shocks as well, no other mods aside from the. I had zero problems with a Hunter drive-on alignment rack, and my tech was able to set the alignment to proper spec w/o issue. Car drives great.
14 30th edition. 142k. Bought it with 6 miles.. 40 oil changes 5 fuel filter And 4 set of spark plugs.. 2 sets of koni shocks.
Bilsteins - I have experience with since they were on my 2005 GLI from the factory and I loved how they handled. You could take that car into 45 mph corners at 60 and not a bit of sway or worry.
Pair those with the Eibach Pro-Kit and it'll ride like a dream, seriously :thumbup: I was swapping different coilovers on my Tiguan trying to find the best setup, and just went that route (Eibach/Konis) a couple days ago....best decision ever.
My son put Vogtland springs and Koni STR shocks on his MKIV GLI, ride height was nice and quality of ride was great.
Finally got around to replacing the original worn out shocks. They had 83k miles and 13 years on them! I decided to go with the Bilstein HDs. In my opinion the ride is nearly perfect now. Virtually no bounce or see-sawing when going over speed humps.
Hard for me to say, it's been a while since I had stock suspension in the car. The Koni's replaced some very old Boge Turbo Gas struts/shocks and Neuspeed springs, and there's a marked improvement from that setup. I currently have the Koni's set to medium firmness and not terribly low ride height, and so far I'm very pleased - but I'll probably futz with them a bit more as I drive it and things break in.
Adore the bilstein HD's I have on my accord
thanx km1 my setup is blue haldex, new koni FSDs, Eibach springs, all season 18" tires new at Christmas.
