I've been through stock, Bilstein Sports, H&R Race, stock length housing coilovers, and various cheap camber plates and after all of that, I'm finally happy with my setup.
I run koni yellow and hr sport on my vert and it’s been excellent. Just as comfortable as stock with a much more planted feel
Koni Special Actives with Stock springs will give you a performance uplift and better ride as well.
the rear shocks i just replaced were about 50 bucks
Koni yellows. I have run them on my GLI and currently my MkVI GTI and they are great with lowering springs.
I have the Koni Special Active on my '08 328xi. I installed them at about 95K miles; my apparently original shocks were leaking. Less body roll in fast corners. My expired shocks were mushy, so these feel a bit stiffer.
Ive been impressed with Koni 80 shocks and dobinsons springs..
No frills, good ride, reliably does what it is supposed to.
I'm running the adjustable koni yellows on mine with the eibach lowering springs (1in drop in front, 1.25 in the rear I believe).
Had one, an 850 Turbo wagon. Even with fancy Koni FSD shocks added, the thing still rode like a garbage truck and spirited cornering was a myth.. and still I loved that damn wagon.
When I broke down the struts, I was surprised to see they were completely blown. Konis usually fare much better. But, I’m using Bilsteins as replacements so all will be well soon enough.
