Rear suspension upgrade (shocks) Koni or Bilstein ?

[TDImania]

Hi

I would like to know what is the best for the rear twist beam design suspension? The rear shocks are not doing the work well at 100000km and I would like an upgrade and less vibrations, more dampening.

1- Koni yellow with 034 motorsport shock mount (adjustable) Are they Twintube design ?


2- Bilstein B6 with 034 motorsport shock mount (not looking at B4 because I want more dampening)

Stock Spring !


Thank you

Have a nice day

Tires, wheel size, pressures, all affect what you are trying to achieve as well as driving style and road surface. If I lived in Philadelphia, I would find my 40 profile michelin a/s 3+ and 18" wheels awful, but where I live, the combination is wonderful.

I should be ready for shocks and struts this summer just because I want to keep the ride I want. That being said I am going to go Bilstein B-8's( I have Eibach springs )

I forgot to add: I added the Neuspeed rear sway car as well and made a huge difference in handling, she feels much more planted on corners.

I went with koni sports. They’re adjustable but you have to take them off. Mine pogo just a little bit on whatever setting they shipped at with h&r sport springs. Not looking forward to taking them off to re-set and try again.

Now sure if you did upgrade but I noticed the new Koni are now available for us. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=497811
