I have H&R race springs and bilstien sports on my GTI right now. They handle great and ride very very nice.
IMHO, Bilstein struts are better than OEM Sachs and Boge struts. The units have a lifetime warranty, and are a great replacement!
If you can get Bilsteins for less than OEM struts..grab that quick! Bilsteins are true lifetime parts..I\"ve run sets well over 125K miles and they were just as firm as the day I installed 'em!
At about 75000 miles, I replaced my rear struts with Bilstein HD struts. Let me tell you, 90% of my handling woes were the rear struts being dead. I haven't replaced the fronts yet.
I've already got the Neuspeed Upper Tie Bar, Neuspeed Rear Three Pt Tie Bar, Rear Sway Bar, Polyurethane engine mounts, Techtonics Heads and full exhaust, Bilstein struts
I used Neuspeed SofSport springs on the front with Bilstein HD struts. The drop is minor and ride quality is good for daily driving.
If these are the last struts/shocks you want to install, go with the HDs. No loss of shock performance on any of these vehicles. Bulletproof.
I went with the TC's. The car corners as flat as I want it to be at speed, and the ride is still somewhat comfortable.
I replaced the front struts (bilistine B4 standard stock replacements) and front strut mounts/bearings and ball-joints. It's annoying that I'd already replaced all this stuff once but it was old and dead and needed replaced again.
I ended up buying new bilstein struts and Vogtland springs off some guy who said they were for my FWD, but they're clearly for the AWD. And now he's not returning my messages...
