Ride/Handling mods

[sinkas]

I am also wondering if is here any Owner with Tiguan or similar car installed and changed factory shocks with Koni Special active shocks ? Some close in deept detailed review and comparison difference versus vw factory shocks, from non DCC or DCC VW factory shocks I am very inersted . I never was happy with Factory shocks setup on new Tiguan 132tsi (non DCC ). Very harsh on even small bums and any imperfections on road , unless is road perfect wich is 1% here in Au. And even are to stiff hard setup handling is just like a boat , way to much float .Thinking upgrading to Bilstein B4 or even better Koni Special active. I recently get as Loan car Kia Sportage basic version, and was shocked how good handling and suspension is on this car is so good ! Even I don't like interior and would never before think of Asian car ,but after driving Sportage and discovering how good is Kia driving and handling with this even smaller engine compared to almost 20k more expensive Tiguan , I changed my mind! VW will be soon in big trouble if Kia get better design of interior simple and elegant style to match euro style ,VW will lose many customers!

I think there is a guy/gal on here with KW variant3 shock set on their tig,

Try this one. That other one only works if you use Tapatalk on mobile.

Thanks bee. I think I want to go lower what are the suggestions ?

wait i scrolled down it doesn’t look to bad!

It's a 10in drop over factory. I've got them. Gets rid of the unsightly gap in the wheel arch if you ask me, and doesn't sacrifice ride quality.
The DCC modes benefit. Sports is firmer, normal mode doesn't feel as bouncy but still comfortable, and comfort is still soft.

Hey guys in relation to ride handling, I'm having front and rear sway bars put in next February at Eurotune. I know most people only do the rear sway bar but if I did both what would the effects be?
