Shock absorbers Sachs or OLD MAN EMU

Well, it's home and boy oh boy does it feel tight as a drum ????????

It's firmer than the Sachs/Eibach combo; but not stupidly - you still feel the bumps, lumps and potholes as I did before, but there's no 'crashyness' over them; it just rides over them now

Sachs and bilstein is good as well. They are the OE brands for shock absorbers

Sachs shocks with Eibach pro-kit springs all round - if your E39 is a petrol straight 6, you need Sachs 556834 front and Sachs 170857 rears with the relevant Eibach pro-kit springs for your engine

I have a Lexus and just paid 350$ just for the Sachs shocks and replacement items, and still have to do the work myself.

I changed everything in my suspension, including new shocks and front springs. Compared to what it was it was a huge improvement. I used Sachs shocks (m sport).

At an absolute minimum, Sachs shocks are worth the money, they're perhaps the one thing that has the biggest impact on ride quality. Being a more complex part than control arms and such, a cheap brand isn't going to have anywhere near the same ride quality.

I've had them for about 1,000 miles or so. Do they "work miracles?" No, but they are a marked improvement over the OEM Sachs. They are quite firm when cornering and braking, but compliant over rough roads at normal speeds.

It has Old Man Emu Shock absorbers on it already (no idea which or hold old as they came with the car)

I had the Seat Toledo, a rebadged Skoda Rapid basically. I changed the OEM shocks to aftermarket. The owner of the shop told me that VAG group uses Sachs, so i fitted Sachs. I hated it. The ride became a lot firmer, uncomfortable and annoying. However handing improved and the car felt more planted on the road. Asked the guy about it and told me that aftermarket shocks are generally firmer than OEM even if they come from the same company. Depends on what you prioritise. Comfort or handling.

I have this creaking noise since I installed new Sachs shocks & top mounts. \nIt's dead silent on sunny days or when the temperature outside is above 15c. \nAny ideas since the mechanic says it's just bad quality rubber on top mounts and the only solution is to go with a Lemforder top mount.
