Reviews of Sachs strut assembly

I also put MK2 Scirocco sway bars on her car, front and rear, and with Sachs struts all the way around, it handled and rode fantastic.

The factory Sachs struts are also pretty good. Not sure if the M-Sport got different shocks from the regular sport, but all that's left anymore from Sachs are sport struts. Unfortunately for those of us without the sport package it makes shock replacement a pain, since their resting position is shorter than stock, and makes them shorter than the spring. I never want to do that repair ever again.

Factory struts are now made by Sachs and didn't last.

I bought Sachs once and don't know if I was unlucky, but they seemed underfilled. Hit repetitive bumps and they would immediately fade. Tires would bounce like basketballs. I could hear the oil frothing in them.

Kyb, bilstien or sachs. Everything else just is crap.

Almost forgot Sachs, if you have a euro car they are also a great choice.

Even the Sachs aftermarket are more harsh than OE

IMO, Sachs will restore the factory ride characteristics. I always recommend Sachs because they always seem to ride the closest to stock and have had good luck with their replacement parts.

Had an 85' Jetta GLI: installed lowering springs (1/5" front, 1" rear, 40% stiffer? Hor brand? Pretty sure I picked them up from Autotech) and used HD standard struts (coilovers were not available and pretty sure I used Sach's struts).

I also replaced the front and rear struts. Man, what a difference that made in the ride and handling department.
