Good afternoon all.

 

My current Sachs shocks are feeling a bit bouncy and the car is wallowing a bit too much for my style of driving.

I am looking at B4 or B6 Bilsteins as a replacement.

 

I live on fast country roads and the average speed is 60mph with rather a lot of corners, dips and a few holes, which I can navigate.

 

Any thoughts welcome, the B4s look like a straight swap with not much difference in performance, B6's too stiff?

 

I will get new drop links and top mounts also. Front only as the rear feels fine.

 

Looked at Koni also, bit too high spec though.

 

Cheers 

I've just put B6s on my Porsche 944 and they're pretty stiff. Not sure I'd like them on my Superb at all. If you're on 18" wheels I think they'd be unpleasant on all but the smoothest roads.

The B4s are basically a gas version of the standard shocks, the B6 are a monotube upgrade but as mentioned fairly firm.

 

If I was keeping the standard springs, personally I'd go for the Koni Special-Active.

Thank you both for your advice.

I purchased the OEM Sachs in the end, with new springs and track rods.

I was over thinking it all weekend and went for the genuine ones that it came with.

They should re-energise the car as its far too bouncy and handling a bit sketchy on the fast mountain corners.

 

Thanks again. 

Did the same to my car 2 months ago. 200'km on it and went with TRW front suspension for bad road package and Sachs rear suspensions meant for heightened suspension cars. Came out as a totally different car. I mean, totally different! So, this is a cheap and good "upgrade".
