    Bumpy ride MK6 Jetta SE

    10-03-2012 05:51 PM #1
    So I'm currently on ST struts and they are not the most comfortable. I'm looking to get Konis, Airlift, or Bilstein. Obviously, Bilstein would be the most expensive and have a smoother ride, but how does Airlift or Konis compare? Any input would be appreciated. If this has been covered before, just point me to the right direction and I would gladly delete this thread. Thank you!

    Do you have a link where I can buy them? I just wanted to see if anyone else has had experience with other struts. A guy is selling me his Airlift struts for $75 this Sunday. For that price, I'm not sure if they suck that bad or they really are just cheaply priced in general.

    openroadtuning.com call andrew, he'll hook you up.

    and yes the air lift rear shocks suck that bad. I love the xl fronts, but the rear shocks are bad. I was speaking with one of their reps at H20, and he said they are in the process of redesigning them(making the adjustable).
