I live in CT and went back to stock springs with gas charged sporty shocks on my 84 GTI for the same reason. Car is 10x more fun to drive now IMO. Still sporty I'm running the stock springs with Bilstien in the back
I'm on H&R Sport springs and B8s on my 4Mo GSW - great setup.
I have Bilstein B8s paired with Neuspeed sport springs and would recommend them based on my experience
Stay with HR Sports and get Bilstein 8s, add a GOLF R RSB take off at the same time and have it aligned. You'll have a great setup
I also did the b6’s paired with eibach pro kit, big difference!!
Bilstein shocks and lowering springs, you retain a more comfortable ride whilst getting better handling and making the car a bit lower
I lifted my other 2004GX470 with some Bilsteins and springs (in back). It rode also great. I sold it to my mom and she loved it and the ride.
I put Bilstein’s on my 16. First did the silver ones, forget the model. Those lasted 2 years. Changed those out to the uglier yellow with blue boots last summer. I like the ugly ones better.
I’ve had 5100s and fox 2.0s.
The 5100s are over damped, unless you drive fast as hell or drive your truck like a sports car the fox’s are gonna ride way better
I have the bilsteins with standard sport springs and hate them. They float normally & are overly harsh over bad surfaces.
