Yeah, I just installed some with H&R sport springs. The ride is certainly an improvement over stock. It's only been a few days but I am liking these koni.
Im running Koni FSDs on my passat which is the identical platform. And they are a great set up.
I would get these . Can't go wrong with Bilstein.
When I went to Bilstein sports, I anticipated an increase in ride harshness - but was pleasantly surprised by a reduction harshness. Because the Bils have increased damping rates rebound vs. the GR-2's, so they are better able to damp the second half of a road surface impact - the part that bounces you up.
MKIII front Bilsteins are 22mm. I use a $5 Harbor Freight O2 Sensor socket myself.
my S6 has Bilstein Sports and I have a bit of oil in them in UrS4s and S6s, if you don't you risk having water getting in there
If the shocks or struts are worn out already, and not in warranty, don't buy another set of low quality tire shop struts or shocks. Spend a little more money and get a decent set of name brand (Bilstein, Koni, or Boge Turbogas)struts and shocks with a lifetime warranty.
Yeah, New Konis Note: I am replacing my Strut Housings completely ,but you may choose to just replace your cartridges if you have the Struts that allow new cartridges to be used.
I've put about 150 miles on the new set up. The ride is great, very comfortable, not too bouncy, not too stiff. However I'm getting a high pitched squeak from the front drivers side strut assembly.
Since you mention winter...I would stay away from the STR.T line. I bought them a few years ago for my Passat and after the first winter the things started to rust. The problem is the paint; it's garbage - I don't think they were primed, just sprayed orange. Maybe it's a cost-savings area but after the first winter the paint was flaking all over and after the second there was little paint left and heavy surface rust (big time pitting) everywhere.
