I need shocks..

[juldupp]

Hi i just received my kit but i have no shocks in the back, dont think i should run this on stock shocks lol
What would be the best quality shocks?
(for a golf mk6 on re-5)

[Will@BagRiders]

I like either the Bilstein Sport shocks or Koni Sport shocks. Either one is a little shorter than stock

[Piso]

I'll just add a question. What about bump stops? How much should them be cut?

[son of planrforrobert]

Before I switched to the adjustable Koni's, I cut the bumpstops off completely on my stock rear shocks. Doing so brought the rears down considerably, but the stock shocks rode quite terribly.

I don't run bumpstops on my rears. I have Koni's

[Piso]

Without bumpstops does the shock absorber bottom out on the shock support? Can this cause damage?

[juldupp]

Ok ill go for konis since bilstein are backorder, wont run those bitches on stock shocks lol becauce racekor

I don't think they end up bottoming out, but it will fatigue them faster than you would otherwise.

[Squirrel Nuts]

Bilsteins aren't adjustable btw. Koni's are. Both are great though.

[choey]

Go with konis or bilsteins. I went with Airlift and I do wish I went with konis or bilsteins prob be ordering them at some point lol

[MatGervais]

same here, and I finaly choose to order Koni Shock, im waiting for it now

[juldupp]

But bilstein are more sporty right?

[son of planrforrobert]

Get the Koni's, set them to full stiff, then install and enjoy.

[juldupp]

Where can i get them for cheap?

[son of planrforrobert]

You're not going to find them "for cheap". No adjustable shock worth a **** will be cheap. With that said, I got mine from ECS Tuning.

[MechEngg]

They will be all around the same price. If anything support the local guys

[juldupp]

Ordered from ecs, also, would a rear sway bar be of good help?

[son of planrforrobert]

With what? On the air ride side, it won't make one bit of difference. On the overall handling side, it will help out substantially.

[juldupp]

Okai thanks, was talking about the handling.
