[s-cars] Shocking!

[Fred Munro]

Steve;

I had Koni Sports on my '94 S4. As they wore I adjusted them to compensate
for wear. Looking at my maintenance records I see that I adjusted them 4
times over 160,000 km. There was still a bit of adjustment left but it was
getting near the end of the range. I put the rear Konis on after the fronts.
I put 80,000 km on the rears and adjusted them once. They still had lots of
adjustment range left on them when I sold the car.

I put Sachs on my '97 S6 and am happy with them. Adjusting the front Konis
wasn't too bad but you have to pull the strut apart to adjust the rears.

S-heads:

The lifetime of my Bilstein shocks has been lousy - I put 'em on (too
damped);  run the car for a few thousand miles (they become perfect); and
then about 10k miles later the rebound is too soft.  I want to try something
else.

Koni adjustable?

Other?

Appreciate any recommendations from other listers, I have Eibach springs.

 

(oh, and I have a near-zero mile set of Happersized Bilsteins that I had
factory modified (at time of purchase) to the preferred dampening - to harsh
for me; contact me at stevevoit at comcast.net)
