The H&R anti-sway bar I installed on my 2003 Passat has two firmness settings. I first tried the firmest setting and liked the result except for one very anoying thing. It created a high pitched vibration in the steering wheel at speeds over 50 MPH. Cound not stand the vibration so I switched to the softest setting. That worked very well. The vibration over 50 MPH went away but I still had a significant improvement in roll stiffness. Now for the Koni sport shocks. At higher speeds they work very well and give excellent control of suspension/spring movements. BUT they don t feel as good as I would like in the way they control the suspension movements for a comfortable ride. At lower speeds and over bumpy roads surfaces I find the Koni Sports to give nearly harsh ride quality. I would like to contrast this good news news bad news situation using the Konis on my 2003 Passat Station Wagon with the KYB adjustable struts I had installed on my 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix. KYB has done a much better job than Koni in combining surpurb suspension control with a combination of jounce and rebound control that allows a much more confortable ride quality at lower speeds than do the Konis on my Passat. If KYB offered adjustable struts and shocks for my Passat I would buy them hands down over the Konis. But they don t so I am sticking with the Konis which have the shortcoming of poor ride quality at lower speeds on rough road surfaces. Are you listening KYB (and Koni)? -- Review submitted 2011-07-11 |

Installed Eibach Pro-Kit (Springs and Dampers) and there is definitely a night and day difference. Car feels much more planted and stable. Cornering feels so easy at any speed now and inspires much more confidence than stock set-up. Would definitely recommend this set-up. -- Review submitted 2011-02-10 |
