Bilstein › Shock absorbers

Rating 4.0

you can always put bilsteins on yourself (not too hard, put the 5100s and lift spacers/ blocks ((if off-roading, do not use front spacers, you will get coil bucket contact and a proper lift may be more expensive but its better on your performance and ball joints, i am mostly highway / town travel)) and it was done within a weekend with rental tools from the auto store).

Pros: not too hard

Cons: coil bucket contact

Vehicle: Suzuki

Mileage: 240000 km

Part number: 5100S

Bottoming:

I made my own poor man's B12 kit! Except mine is now complete with badged housings and early top mounts. No bump stops in the front and vestigial foam stops in the back. I went mild on the cutting. The rears could go up a lot or down a little without cutting. Excited to see how she sits. Took some before measurements for what it's worth.

Pros: complete with badged housings

Cons: no bump stops in front

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

I'd keep stock springs and go with some nice Bilstein struts/ shocks with new mounts. Wheels, tires, brakes, sound deadening, and a headunit would make a big quality of life improvement.

Pros: quality of life improvement

Body bounce:

You can try new shock absorbers and springs in the back to start with, youll gain a bit of ride height and bounce control, make sure to avoir super cheap brands because they are not worth it, stick with Bilstein/kyb/sach/mando/ for shocks

Pros: gain ride height, bounce control

Cons: avoid super cheap brands

Body bounce:

B8 with lowering springs was the sweet spot. Less roll, squat, and dive with a controlled & comfy ride.

Body bounce:

Yes, you can use OEM springs with the Bilstein B6. I have them on my MS3 and the ride feels much more planted compared to the stock shocks / struts.

Pros: more planted ride

Vehicle: Mazda 3

Bounce:

They’ll work on a 2wd but not very well. Ranchos are junk. Spend a tiny bit more and get something better. Bilstein 5100 have been good to me for years on many vehicles.

Pros: something better

Cons: Ranchos are junk
