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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 100000 km
Well got the Bus back from the shop. Among other things we got the following done.. -New shocks Bus runs quite nicely now.
Pros: Bus runs nicely
Vehicle:

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:
Volkswagen Passat
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Better than my trash rough country ones
Pros: better than rough country
Cons: trash ones
Vehicle:
Ford

Cons: rear shocks bad

Volkswagen Jetta

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.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Took our new 2024 North American model Tiguan in for maintenance as there is a clear hard clunk from front suspension going over bumps. I know from experience this is the rebound setting failing and the shocks hitting the lowers hard enough to shudder the steering.
Cons: hard clunk over bumps
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
15K later and all my RC shocks really do is keep my springs from falling out when flexing. Otherwise, they do nothing.
Pros: keeps springs from falling
Cons: otherwise, they do nothing
Vehicle:
Jeep
Mileage: 15000 km
N3s are garbage, they rode so bad I thought I was going to wreck the truck, made the truck walk all over the road at any little bump. I ended up buying a set of bilstein 5100s and the truck rides great now. 2016 4x4 crew short
Pros: truck rides great
Cons: rode so bad
