First of all sorry if I duplicate topic, but I am not shore if I am at right place.

Today I check all 4 shock absorbers in VW service on my AUDI TT regarding car is not stable over 120km/h. Front left is 52%, front right is 49%, rear left is 53%, rear right is 47%. I want to change all of them, but now I can't find parts in Croatia except original AUDI TT shock absorbers that are to expensive (all 4 for 1200EUR). My TT is made in 2007 (2.0T FSI 200ks) and the car have magnetic ride. I have also part number for original rear shocks: 8J0513025A.

Can some one help me to find any Bilstein or any other shock absorbers for my car regarding I can't find any suitable parts on internet with magnetic ride or I am doing something wrong...? :(

Please help.

Hello Mihailo, I am sorry to hear of your situation.

The magnetic ride shocks are very expensive if you wish to keep them, and I do not know of any companies making replacements other than the OEM.

There is another option of converting the car to standard dampers or a coilover system and installing a small electronic device to delete the system. The electronics are $420 USD for the complete car (4 modules), and then you can use any dampers from any company.

Let me know if you have any questions, or PM me with your ship to postal code and I can send you a quote for various options!

Thanks,
Glen
