the on road ride of OME springs and bilstein shocks is amazing
I put bilstein 5100 on all four corners of my previous tahoe and replaced all the blown auto-ride shocks. Even with the maxed out keys up front and overall firmer ride up front with little to no downtravel, it still rode far better than stock.
Went to Bilstein and love them.
The bilsteins are a great upgrade over stock and are also the least expensive. They will offer a better ride than stock as well as take more of a beating.
I have APR springs and lowered the car about 3/4”, want Bilstein B8s. The Bilstein B8s don’t affect ride height from what I’ve read, only the springs do.
I just installed on my MY17 Sport... Bilstein B8 set w/H&R sport springs. Fitted with VW oem strut mounts and bearings. Also added a H&R 26mm rear sway bar w/ VW oem end links. I must tell you that the ride is just ever so.... on a scale of 1 to 10 and 1 is stock GTI, it's now a 3. I actually love the ride now more than what it was. The wallow cornering is gone and the braking is straight and true. No more brake dive during hard stops.
All I got with my Bilstein TC Sport shocks which are amazing btw were the nut and washer to actually bolt them in. I thought my bushings were shot but they were actually fine and I ended up not using most of the suspension install kit I got from kermatdi.
I love my Bilstein TC Sport shocks. They are better than what even brand new mustangs have on them... Anyways the shocks and good springs will make your Jetta handle better than almost all the cars on the road and when on freeways or highways you will not even notice that your going 40% faster than you thought.
Since the original Sachs were not available where I live, I went ahead with Bilstein stock replacements. One problem that i am facing is that no matter what I do, I am not able to get the front camber to factory spec.
I hated the Bilstein HD's on my '97 EVC. The ride was way too harsh and jarring.
