hello,
In my opinion, you should get Koni shocks. I've had Sachs, Monroe, Spax, and Koni shocks before. I always drove aggressively, and I've worn out all of them. With Sachs, you'll first notice that the car feels unstable. The spring pressure and tension will decrease.
If it's not a cheap Spax suspension system, the shock absorber itself is usually still in good condition at that point. However, it will eventually fail if you don't replace the springs.
I still haven't managed to adjust the coilover dampers, and I've already bought two new sets of springs!
"The shocks are completely dry, and I still have excellent road handling, like I'm on rails. The SPAX shocks only lasted 3 months, and now, if you look at the prices, while KONI is significantly more expensive, there's definitely a quality difference."
Koni, by the way, offers a lifetime warranty on the materials used in their shock absorbers!
