Hello,
I have been going through several topics related to front suspension - and found a lot of negative feedback for springs and shocks quality, and as I plan to replace both on my A2 I need some consultations:
My car is 2005 1.4 TDI (BHC) without sunroof, with standard suspension (still on original shocks [8Z0413031AD] and springs [3 blue and one silver dot]) - milage is 260 kkm.
I am considering:
1. Shocks:
A. Bilstein B4 OE Replacement 22-105813 (gas / oil type)
B. Sachs 300 032 (oil type)
2. Springs:
A. Bilstein B3 OE Replacement 37-147679
B. Lesjofors 4004259
C. Sachs 997 854
D. EIBACH R10410
The most important for me is reliability - I do not want to do this job twice ... (due to broken spring).
Does anybody have some good experiences with any of the given manufacturers ?
I will also replace bumpers, dust cover, upper bearing etc.
