Many consider Bilstein's Heavy Duty Touring line to be among the best handling damper set for A5 and MkVI chassis cars. These gas pressurized struts and shocks will raise your car slightly (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch) and dramatically firm the ride, improve steering response, and reduce suspension bottoming. The dampers have about 40 lbs of pressure, effectively increasing your spring rates.

The set includes 2 struts and 2 shocks. It does not include springs.

We strongly recommend replacing all strut and shock mounts when installing a new suspension. Worn front strut mounts can negatively affect alignment, steering handling as well degrade ride quality. Worn rear mounts can cause knocking/rattling noises as the shock is no longer held securely in a worn mount. Bilstein HDs have internal bump stops for the front struts and are unable to fit an external bump stop. 

The rear shock mounts include new mounts, new bump stops and new shock boot dust covers.

What our customers say...

2014 TDI Sportwagen 6MT. At 105K suspension definitely soft all around. Bilstein HD\'s, new mounts, and the new hardware package. I have total confidence that I\'ll get the correct parts from idparts. The Bilsteins: exactly the firm, controlled handling I was looking for. No sway bar mods will be necessary. My Sportwagen now handles like a sportwagen. (Once the extended \"callback\" tdi warranty expires I\'ll be looking into Malone 1.5. ) But I\'m glad I did the Bilsteins instead of Konis. BTW lowering not an option for me as I live in a rural area and have a 3/10 mile long gravel lane. At any rate, kudos to the crew at idparts. You take the guesswork out of buying diesel parts.

I love the shocks, made the car drive like NEW and stiff, hugged the roads like there's no tomorrow, no more rear sagging issue due to carrying 200 lbs equipment. definitely will buy this again soon.
