New Monroe (factory supplier, found their stampings on the shocks) front shocks en route.
Little update: since car is ca car with 72k miles and garaged whole it\u2019s life, i think it wasnt too bad. I replaced the boot and re-greased outer. Drives just fine, no noises or anything.
I heard the same about the B8 so I bought the Koni Special active with Eibach pro kit lowering 3cm.
I can say I am absolutely satisfied. The car is a real train at the curves without being stiff.
Monroe OE Spectrum. It had better valving than what comes stock. Where I live it’s about 70-80 a pair so easy on the wallet and produces a nice smooth ride.
I would suggest at least better shock absorbers (the emu ones are good but I've heard that the Koni adjustable shocks are a lot better especially for the body roll)
Mine on my Corrado VR6 are set right in the middle and are as smooth riding as any car. It also corners better than any car I have owned.
I have Koni Yellows and stock springs on my '93 Corrrado SLC (VR6) that's in storage. I put the dampening right in the middle and they rode great and my Corrado handled great.
I went with the HDs - much better than stock - better all around ride, IMO.
Now I have koni yellows and h&r race springs. Ride is pretty close to stock but now it's too low.
I did koni str.t shocks and struts and H&R super sport lowering springs and it was cheaper than coilovers but I honestly regret just not getting some bc br coilovers
