My main goal adding the Bilsteins was to correct the sloppy ride of the stock rancho shocks.
Hello everyone, I just recently had my stock Rancho shocks replaced with Bilstein 5100s front and rear.
The Golf R springs with Bilstein B6 dampers did moderately lower the wagon's body roll and, paradoxically, not really negatively affect ride quality from what I can tell.
Pros: lower body roll
Cons: turn in isn't as sharp
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 53000 km
On my 13, I have bilstein with RCE yellows. Those are nice.
Pros: nice ride quality
Vehicle:
Subaru
I run Bilstein B4s in my project Rabbit. The car rides and handles great now. I drove it to work not long after getting it back together, and it was a very smooth, quiet ride.
Pros: smooth, quiet ride
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Bilstein B6 for stiffer suspension -- helped a ton with tire wear given our driving habits and locale. Much better ride in the twisties.
Pros: better ride, stiffer suspension
Vehicle:
Mazda
I’m running Whiteline springs with B8’s it’s similar to stock in ride comfort, but far more compliant and sticks to the road
well.
Pros: more compliant, sticks to road
Cons: similar to stock
TRD shocks were not super happy with towing, these I changed out with Bilstein 5100's at 70k miles.
Pros: better towing performance
Cons: not good for towing
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
Mileage: 70000 km
Don't buy B4s unless you are selling the car soon. Extremely high failure rate past 1 year.
Cons: high failure rate
