Awesome review, very helpful in a costly deicision

Nice review! I have the ST's on my ride and enjoy them as well! Great bang for the buck when you are not looking to go nuts on coilovers.

Agreed, it brought my car back from being on the verge of too harsh as a daily

So these are more comfortable than the DG springs & stock struts? I would have imagined these would be stiffer and less comfortable overall. Not saying that they can't be comfortable, but I would imagine in terms of comfort, springs/struts will outweigh coils.

 

[HYDE161]

Hands down more comfortable, remember it's a twin tube design vs. the crappy OEM struts.

I've only had mine on for a few months but after they have settled I noticed they have a bit more of a "bouncy" feel than the first month or so of testing. I'm all the way down in the front and about a 1/4" of threads showing in the rear. It's the only suspension mod I have right now, but I feel some sway bars in the future will compliment this very nicely!

I wouldn't consider anything OEM crappy except our pressure plate Interesting either way.

EDIT:
...and water pump, timing tensioner, intake manifold.

Lol, add struts to the list, I have a feeling upgrading struts will show an improvement, I know coilovers did.

I am interested in the longevity of these coils vs OEM struts and DG springs.

Let me know if you get a ride in a GTI with B8s. Would be an interesting comparison.

If you want ultimate set it and forget it longevity, get Bilstein dampers and DG springs.

Bilsteins will retain 97%+ damping coefficient even after 100k miles.

Some will counter this with "well x brand has a warranty blah blah". To that I say... I'll let this guy tell you about warranties.

Hi Ryan! :word:

Sounds like it will be much more stiffer!

Welcome back Matt! :clap:

Anything this man says is gospel, he is the foremost suspension master.
