Now I am in the middle of getting some Koni Special Actives installed to help with the ride.
Love my Koni STR.T's (Orange) with VW Driver's Gear Spings (similar to stock GLI springs, only lower), they're perfect. Particularly since I don't have to wonder if they're on the right setting, as they're not adjustable lol. Inexpensive too. Simple, solid, can't go wrong.
Koni yellows, simply for adjustability. This can give you a option of making it a weekend cruiser.. Koni orange is basicly koni yellows set on soft settings, IMO best for daily because of price point and comfort.
I bought some cheap ebay coilovers (struts and shocks), and the ride was terrible. Incredibly stiff. I eventually had the opportunity to upgrade my coilovers, so I got Koni Shocks. Quality, name brand (Koni) shocks rode better with springs that were twice as stiff
I went with Koni yellows during paragons summer sale and I love them. Soft for daily driving, and I can turn them up to hit the track or the hills.
Koni yellows will improve the ride, it's a worthwhile upgrade.
So to play safe with any height of spring setups, you add Koni Yellow shock absorbers.
My 2013 B7 SEL Premium on H&R Sport Springs and Koni Yellow SPORTS on Audi S7 20" reps. The perfect setup IMO.
Koni Sports on full soft aren't bad. I had them paired with DG springs and recently went back to OEM. I was really dissapointed. The small fraction of comfort I regained did not make up for the loss of performance or loss of aesthetics. The car actually rode smoother with the DG/Koni set up.
Bought my truck new and my ranchos were already leaking. So my opinion on them are not high.
