I'm getting ready to do my Hotchkis Sport Spring kit on my car and figured that since it has 31K on it I might as well replace the dampeners on it as well. I've ran both Bilstiens on BMWs I've had and Konis on Miatas I've had but was wondering what you guys thought of either shock on the TT. As usual, any input will be greatly appreciated.

 

on r 2 tts that we have we have bilstien coilovers on both i also have them on my a4and they are amazing

 

Hopefully my Koni's are going on this weekend with Hotchkis springs.
I'll let ya know what my first impressions are.

 

I ended up going with the Bilstiens. The guy at the Tire Rack got them for me for $685 shipped. That was the best price I could find. I went with the heavy duty instead of the sport. I am not going to track this car and want it to be driveable on the street. The last time I made the mistake of combining Bilstien sport shocks with lowering springs was on an 89 BMW 325is I had that I put H&R springs on. The ride was miserable. I ended up going with a milder spring that didn't drop the car as much and was much happier with the end result.
