After much web browsing I'm now looking at a set of Eibach sport line springs coupled with B8 Bilstein shocks. Anyone else here running that combo and able to offer some first hand opinion of ride quality?
Thinking about upgrading my shocks in my TDI and after recommendations.
My current set up is pedders springs and original shocks (now done 120,000k). I have no intention of selling my car so happy to get some really good quality shocks and am currently leaning towards Koni Yellows.
Anyone else running the Koni's and able to give advice?
I used to be indecisive - now I'm just not sure....

What sort of TDi do you have? Golf MkIII, V, VI / Polo 9N3, 6R / Tiguan / Passat.......
That'd help people decided whether to respond or not.
I have a 9N3 Polo TDi with a Bilstein B12 kit which is basically the same as the Eibach Pro + B8. I find the handling fantastically better than stock but it is quite firm over sharp bumps. The Sportline springs would be even firmer, I'd imagine.
Koni make great dampers and the adjustable rebound is a bonus. I'd imagine that they may be a bit more compliant than Bilsteins since the action of the gas dampers add to the spring rate.
