If you want a comfortable suspension, then absolutely do not buy coilovers. Just replace the stock shocks and struts with something like Koni sports or FSDs if you want a more comfortable ride.

hi thx for advise

but sometimes i drive aggressive

will my stability in the road loss with koni??or it will increase??

because with stock one i already feel confident in every cornering
and actually i want to make it better but if possible also make it comfort

my brother has golf 1.4tsi with koni and eibach spring

his ride comes lower but i must said become more rigid and less comfort

and i more love it when its stock

Probably too expensive but I looooooovvvveee my Ohlins. Just adjusted them from track to street today and it just absorbs all the bumps on the road. Stock suspension is rough and these are amazing for their comfort level and their track capabilities.

I would suggest V2 since it will have a bit of adjustability compared to the V1 which have no adjustability except ride height.
