Strut assembly KYB or Bilstein
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.
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 have a set of KYB GR-2 struts on my Subaru and there great for a basic daily driver.
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 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...
