Today two parcels arrived to our door stepIt is also time to take out my Eibach Pro Kit spring set as well!
Boxes contain Koni Yellow Sports front and rear shocks with rebound adjustability.
With these installed I hope to lower the car around 35mm and improve the handling and comfort. Also I like to test the shocks with set of H&R springs as well so if someone has a set of H&R springs for Tig please let me know

i have Koni Yellows with Eibach Pro-Kit on the Octavia. Beautiful ride control - especially initial movement. No stiction like the Bilsteins get.
My mate has them on his polo with stock springs - transformed the vehicle.
Recomend half a turn off soft as a starting point.

Keen to see some before and after pictures of the ride height and your feedback on the adjustability.

Thanks team_v, I will! I am also thinking of running few logs with an accelerometer before and after so that we can get some quantitative measure of the ride comfort. I can do that with stock and different damping settings with Koni's so we can compare. With this all smartphones with accelerometers and gyros with all the apps in the market logging is easier than ever before!

These are the part numbers for Tiguan specific Koni Sport Yellow shocks..
For the front - KONI 8741-1546 SPORT
For the rear - KONI 8040-1395 SPORT
Both front and rear can be rebound adjustable. but rear shocks need to be removed from the car to adjust.

Should be perfect combo mate
The Eibach Pro-kit springs work well and the Koni yellows seem to be best for rebound control - like MGV just waiting to wear out OE shocks before replacing mine with them also
