i have a B7 avant and i am changing the suspension front stock sport to neuspeed sport springs and i cant decide on which shocks. anyone have a good/bad experience or recommendation on any of these? id like the car a bit lower with improved handling but i want to be careful i dont end up with a super harsh or bumpy ride.
thanks

Just the front? Did I read that correctly? I'd go with the FSD's if you want adjustability and a softer ride. Bilstein for more grip. I went from sport suspension to bilstein/H&R and it was a tad more 'bumpy' but nothing that made me regret the awesome handling. Simple fact is that the stiffer your spring/shock combo is, the more bumpy your ride will be. BUT, it turns on a dime with my sway bar upgrade..

I had FSD they are good if you don’t want a harsh set up. They also have a kit that come with eibach springs if you want it lower than stock ride height. Hope this helps.
