Good call on that choice against the Golf... Even a quick drive on the V3’s was enough to know they’re the real deal, the price was just to steep for me at this moment in time. And you definitely...

I appreciate that input. Unless I’m mistaken, the Bilstein B6 doesn’t have any damping adjustment.

Thanks for asking! Not back on the road yet... car is at New German Performance outside DC... since we didn’t have the mounts ready to go when the struts were off (no idea they’d be bad, and I’m out...

It was indeed a good chance to do that... also the 10SEC tune vs. my EPL... let’s just say I’m jealous of that tune now, and need to get a TCU tune (maybe different ECU as well), because the...

Absolutely! Planning the swap to Bilsteins on the 16th with the very generous help of a forum member. Will follow up!

Excellent feedback... thank you for that!

As a matter of fact, that's where I've decided to go... with the B6 Performance!

It’s looking like I’ll go with Bilstein B6 Performance simply due to availability — Koni’s are backordered 3-4 weeks. You are correct I do not care about ride height adjustment… Do you have any...

According to Jim Ellis parts it’s 4B3616807A and 4B3616808A, each is called “Cental valve with lines.” My car was an Illinois/Ohio resident, and this I cannot say the same for corrosion/winters. Shop...

I appreciate your staunch support of OE! Am I correct that the “set” you found is four shocks, but not new lines/reservoirs? Those appear to be $3k just for new reservoirs/lines, before you even get...

Ok so answering my own question, I get that at least part of it is re-using OE springs with Koni, and the V3 comes with the full spring kit... Anything else? Are new springs just that expensive?

Thanks to all for the helpful descriptions. At the risk of highlighting my naïveté, what are you getting for >$2k in V3 parts that Koni offers at under $1k? Is there a perceived/actual...

Wow, that would be awesome and incredibly generous... will send you a PM.

There are quite a few threads addressing suspension upgrades... many started 10+ years ago, as folks were first discovering the sub-optimal longevity of DRC. My DRC made it to 117,000 miles (with...
