When it comes time to replace shocks on your European vehicle it may become confusing as to which brand to go with. It sometimes seems like there's a never ending amount of options but Sachs is the brand that stands out when it comes to overall quality and safety. Sachs produces a wide range of twin-tube dampers, gas-pressured or hydraulic struts, mono-tube dampers, leveling controls and variable damping systems. Once you install a new Sachs shock or strut you'll immediately notice optimal driving comfort and significant noise reduction, largely due to innovative technology. There's a reason why many OE manufacturers use Sachs shocks and struts as standard equipment, the proven track record simply makes it a no-brainer.
Sachs has a couple well-known lines including the Super Touring and Sachs Advantage line. The series you decide on really depends on the demands that you put on your car from day to day. The Sachs Super Touring line has been developed for the customer looking to retain factory ride and handling characteristics. If you're demanding a little more out of your suspension, consider the Advantage line which enhances the chassis systematically and provides a more sporting driving dynamic. In either case, Sachs has you covered when it comes to a standard factory replacement or maybe something a little more aggressive if you're really looking to push the limits.
We carry Sachs shocks and struts at FCP because our customers recognize the quality and value the Sachs name brings. ZF products are held to the strictest standards leading in the utmost quality and innovation. Sachs has always been among our top selling brands when it comes to suspension components. It's a brand that we continue to stand behind with great reviews once installed, bringing the factory feel back to our customer's vehicles. Replacing shocks and struts is also a quick and easy DIY job requiring limited tools and experience.
