@RToyo86
That, my friend, was perfect. Thanks a million. PS: I rather like the look of those wheels.

I bring back this old thread just to ask again if someone has experience with the B6 and the OEM tS >18 springs

Body control is far superior to the stock springs and Sachs dampers. The ride is a bit firmer (passengers will notice), but not harsh or crashy. |

By the way how much miles the standard tS Sachs withstand, I already have 50.000kms and they work fine |

B6 for me were slightly, but less comfortable then stock (MY2013 GT86) suspension. At least for smaller road imperfections/rougher roads. Due a bit more firmness car, as some may say, is "more composed", and on track when pushed a bit better, but i wouldn't consider them if comfort for DD is the goal.

In general I've found the Bilsteins to be a good bit more comfortable on bigger bumps and potholes. They have just slightly more compression damping, and a little less high speed rebound (depending on which year OEM we're talking about). More digressive. Plenty more rear rebound which does impact ride quality slightly but sure is helpful with aftermarket springs. Adjustable would be nice to tune that a little bit but overall they have a feel that is more reassuring (to put it one way) on the terrible roads I drive on.
Just wish they weren't always backordered. - Andrew |

Is there a better combination (B6 w/OEM springs, B6 w/any particular aftermarket spring, etc) that rides better than the base (non-PP) OEM setup?
I track the car a couple of times a year, but since that is just for fun, keeping the wife happy and willing to ride in the car is more important than track use. Admittedly though it is not just her as I'm getting into the old fart age range and have to admit I care about a more compliant ride than I used to!

I don’t think you’ll find anything that rides better than the 2017-2020 base suspension. Everything else has more damping and/or higher spring rates.

The likes of KYB Extage or Cusco Touring A? You can use lowering springs with the Cuscos ....with the KYBs I dont know yet. But they are both adjustable for rebound. And you still use your oem topmounts to minimize NVH. |
