Hello,

 

Sorry if this is a duplicate. If so, please delete.

 

I am looking for the most comfortable suspension for my Polo.  The one which will go over slow speed bumps with least inconvenience for the passengers, and also make long high-way trips comfortable. Is it true that going stock OEM (Bilstein B4 in my case) is the safest option? I've heard that Sachs ST (Super Touring) is the most comfortable option for our car. Could anyone confirm or give any additional suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I has bilstein b4's on my ibiza (same car, different body), and the ride wasn't bad at all. I was running lowering springs, so it wasn't perfect, but far from bad. 

 

What size wheels and tyres are you running? Larger wheels will mean lower profile tyres, which aren't as good at absorbing bumps. 

Hi Yeti,

 

Thanks for the suggestions. So far I've gone with that option too, it had Bilstein B4 from the factory and when the time came I put a new set but still the B4s. I shouldn't complain, they are decent, but it seems that in the long run they harden. At least that's my feeling. I am on stock 14" wheels (non-alloys), and 185/60 tyres. Still considering the Sachs ST as they've told me they are actually a tiny bit softer, but don't have any experience with them. Living in Greece where every single road is  a WRC track, I think I really need something softer
