Shock absorbers OLD MAN EMU or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I chose the BP-51s for multiple reasons. First off I wanted external reservoir shocks for the cooling advantages, as I love to bomb trails. I also wanted something that was adjustable... I took these on a wash boarded road yesterday and the ride quality was insane.
Pros: insane ride quality
He helped me rebuild the car using new and authentic German parts—the brakes, the shock absorbers, wiring harness, etc.
Pros: authentic German parts
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Side note, the wife's 12 tig has a rear shock going out. Factory shock/struts with aftermarket H&R sport springs. Those factory shocks lasted 100k miles with the shorter springs!!
Pros: lasted 100k miles

I think it is very likely that your low front end is caused by the wrong shocks being installed for the heavy W8 engine.
Cons: low front end
Vehicle:

A quick bench test revealed the damping rate of the replacement shocks to feel approximately twice that of the originals, which were way too soft even for daily driving over bad surfaces.
Pros: improved damping rate
Cons: originals were too soft

Volkswagen Golf
I had Old Man Emu shocks and springs put in my 07 sport. The XREAS was sagging severely to the left and was leaking fluid.
Cons: XREAS sagging, leaking fluid

My wife had gone to the dealer because she felt she had no brakes. In addition to the brake job, they also replaced all 4 shocks and 2 front top plates and right and left front ball joints.
