Got a flyer today "SACHS" replacement shocks....curious on how the ride is. Has anyone out there tried this name brand before? I heared of it on VW's new on the MINI, with H-Sport...maybe

 

I read an article in European Car a few years ago about what I think was a set of Sachs shocks matched to a particular set of springs on a VW Passat. The article was very complimentary about the set-up. However, there is so much more experience and first hand testimony about the effects of Koni shocks (particularly the FSDs) or the JCW shocks (if matched with their springs) that I don't know why anyone would want to venture out as a test "mule" unless the price point was very, very low.

 

Had Sachs on an Audi 5000CS Turbo Quattro.... think they were factory. All I can say is that they were much better then the blown Konis I pulled out of it!!

 

Mini552,

Koni shocks are double the price of the Sachs.

 

Koni FSD's here........

 

Koni Sport Suspension (Yellows)
Best control shocks without going into coilovers.
You get what you pay for.
