At an absolute minimum, Sachs shocks are worth the money, they're perhaps the one thing that has the biggest impact on ride quality. Being a more complex part than control arms and such, a cheap brand isn't going to have anywhere near the same ride quality.
Fox 2.5 in adjusters custom tuned from AccuTune are amazing and they'll tune the shocks for the ride you want it and your mods. I have no regrets.
I've experienced zero nose dive after I lifted it. I used Fox shocks
I've had them for about 1,000 miles or so. Do they "work miracles?" No, but they are a marked improvement over the OEM Sachs. They are quite firm when cornering and braking, but compliant over rough roads at normal speeds.
We also have really bad roads. Stock ride height and stock shock absorbers work very good. The factory specification is oil in the front and gas in the rear. We usually use Sachs on our cars.
I’m running Fox shocks now and they feel much better than the bilsteins wich i had prior to Fox .
I’m running the Fox Performance Elite all round on my 2020 and love them. Pricey
Eu tenho um Audi A4 B8 SLine, comprei dois amortecedores na Audi originais SACHS foram €180 os dois!!!
I had the Seat Toledo, a rebadged Skoda Rapid basically. I changed the OEM shocks to aftermarket. The owner of the shop told me that VAG group uses Sachs, so i fitted Sachs. I hated it. The ride became a lot firmer, uncomfortable and annoying. However handing improved and the car felt more planted on the road. Asked the guy about it and told me that aftermarket shocks are generally firmer than OEM even if they come from the same company. Depends on what you prioritise. Comfort or handling.
I have a 2020 BRZ with SACHS performance shock absorbers. I’ve been having a rough ride. Subaru service center said the front struts are weak
