shock absorbers
What's people's go-to brand when it comes to shock absorbers? For the first time in my ownership had 5 people in the car and rear suspension bottomed out which i'm sure it shouldn't do. :tuttut: My heart wants to go for B6 Bilstein, but being a daily motorway mile muncher I feel like that'll be a bit of a waste?

Bilsteins are sooo good though :love:
I'd use normally use Sachs (effectively OE) on anything else but they show the shocks D2 as NLA :( Might need to do some investigating... Are your rear springs intact btw? The bottom coil is prone to breaking off when they get rusty. |
Looking at the online catalogues, something changed at 4D-Y-020000 but I don't know what. Both Sachs (NLA) and Meyle (£40-odd) have listings up to Y-020000 but nothing after that :Confused:

Bilsteins are good :love: Have them on my S4 and I wouldn't have anything else.
Yes, Sachs is currently what I'm looking at and I fall under "before" 4D-Y-02000. I will look at the springs, didn't think of that. |
I've had Bilstein shocks on mine for a few years now. Been great +++

Those Eibach springs have been great by the way. There's really negligible difference in ride height, if any. |

Meyle is decent stuff yeah. Visually, all of their stuff is well made, consistent quality control, good quality materials. I have a lot of Meyle parts on my own D2s and they are lasting well enough. Most of their stuff is half the price of OE like Sachs or Lemforder. I couldn't really say why tbh. For £40 a corner, those dampers are well worth a try compared to four times the price Bilstein.
