Just wondering if you went ahead with these?
So last week I fitted them and this weekend it was 2 new rear tyres and a 4 wheel alignment- it’s like having a new car , inner edges had worn quite badly- sounded like the wheel bearings where shot, alignment was quite a way out on back.
Wish  I done this months ago but was worried about voiding the warranty - to be fair when I had VW replace the old shocks under warranty the service manager admitted that the Bilstein ones are a better option!
Next job - creaking front suspension over speed bumps - still under warranty so hopefully my dealer will sort it.

no not yet, it's on the list.

Surely front suspension will be the same issue of crap OEM shocks?

Could be top mounts or lower suspension bushes or a combination of everything. I've got my DCC suspension GTi pp booked in for Friday to get top mounts possibly changed and my shocks aren't standard.

The creaking is likely to be the front wishbone bushes. I had mine done a few months back. The report back said they greased them up. I'm pretty sure they aligned the car too. It drove like new when I got it back and no creaking sounds since.

Whoa, you have non-standard dampers working with your DCC? Do tell...
