 Im lookingTo upgrade the suspension and possibly the brakes. There are so many options regarding the shocks and springs-I’m looking for durability ride comfort and a little bit of performance. Is there a recommendation you can make for the set up also would you replace the steeringKnuckles tie rods and control arms as well? Similarly there are a lot of options for brakes is there a set up you would deem improved from factory set up? Also I have a strange vibration at around 3500 to 4000 RPM any ideas what would cause this? It’s not a vibration that feels large and suspension components related-It feels as if it has something to do with either the engine itself or the transmission. Thanks for your channel and thanks for all that you do!

I can suggest KONI Special Active Strut and Shocks.  I had them put on my 2012 Golf TDI and I really like the ride. Mine just has about 80k on it so I can't advise anything else, I've not gotten to the point of needing to replace those other items.

See what responses you get from other members on here but if you need to you might search for some of that info in the forums here:  https://www.tdiclub.com/   That is a pretty good community with a lot of information specifically for TDIs (VW, Audi, etc).  That page has helped me greatly with some of the issues I've had with mine.
