B6 are a little stiffer than standard and offer great control (and are not too expensive).īeware of Monroe, I have Monroe Reflex as front shocks and after 25000km they are all rusty, the rubber shock protectors have actually worn the paint off the tubes, and they don’t seem very responsive at all. The Sachs OEM front shocks are oil dampers btw and a bit wobbly, the rear Sachs standard are gas though.īilstein seem to be a good compromise between Koni and OEM, heard a lot of praise for them. I didn’t use them for one reason only: I have almost brand new Nivomats in my wagon and need them because I’m often hauling a lot of stuff around. They are a bit stiffer than the factory setup and just drive great. The golden Konis offer adaptive damping, if you go harsh in a corner they stiffen up more than when you go soft. Hrahn » If you need to replace both front and rear shocks and you’ve got the money, go for the Koni FSD-kit. If you can wait until IPD gets them back in stock, go with those. I unfortunately got screwed over by IPDs warehouse as I need to redo my suspension this weekend but they are out of stock of the set of 4 konis they are much too expensive when sold in sets of 2. Polskamafia mjl » The base Konis are great. My ’94 now has over 240K one the originals and the handling is getting kinda poor, I think I will go either Sachs or Bilstein TCs on it. It all depends on what you are after – ride or handling. The Monroe’s ride OK but the handling really isn’t much better than worn out Sachs/Boge. As was pointed out the TCs are slightly harsher than stock but the handling is great. I have replaced two sets, the Platinum got Bilstein TCs and I put Monroe’s on my son’s car. Ozark Lee » If you can afford them (I can’t) the Koni Yellows are great since they are adjustable.
