Hey guys, I have a 2013 VW Jetta 2.5 with about 95k miles. The front struts recently went out and am looking to replace them. Does anyone have good reccomendations for new ones? I was thinking Bilstein but none of them have a the springs included. I'm looking for a good factory like ride quality, nothing crazy. I just wasn't sure where to start and what brands are good these days... any help appreciated, thanks!
Consider KYB.

What’s wrong with your present springs?

If you don’t want the Bilsteins, then go OEM for best ride quality. The others (even KYB) may not be able to match the OEM strut’s ride quality.
The spring on the driverside broke. So I was looking to replace both struts and springs up front. I was also looking for the strut and springs sold together. I couldn't find any Bilstein ones that had that.
A broken spring in a 10yr old VW?! Yeah, you’ll have to buy the springs separately. Even for KYB. Avoid the cheap aftermarket quick replacement struts.
@itwt my mom's VW broke a spring too. Less than 100,000 km on it. Piles of junk they are.
+1 for KYB.
I did aftermarket quick struts on an older Corolla and the ride quality is vastly worse.
