GTI with Bilstein B16 (Damptronic)

[Sal L]

Just installed Bilstein B16 (Damptronic)! No joke...ride is exhilarating, no more floating sensation, the dampers are just right, car feels like so stable and magnetized to the road.

Bilstein got this one right!

Those aren’t cheap! Glad youre happy with them.

Love mine as well. What do you have yours set at?

 

[Sal L]

Comfort in city driving/stop and go HW. Sport when the road is smooth.

Is that the ride height with them installed the same way you posted photos of the spring collars almost bottomed out?

 

[Sal L]

The spring collar is approximately in the middle of the thread body.

Is the Bilstein jiggle evident?

 

[Sal L]

So far the Bilstein has made my car very stable. The car does not jiggle. Hope this answers your question.

 

[Splashalot]

Thank you.

I havent read many positive experiences with these. I considered these myself but read too many poor reviews. Glad to see u like them. I really dont want to loose my DCC but im told the KW3's are far superior even with no DCC.

You’ve read a lot of bad experiences with Bilstein coilovers? What specifically?

 

[GNBRETT]

Good in the corners just too harsh for DD bumps and other New England pot holes.
