Bilstein B4’s are perfect for stock replacements. I have a set all around. Takes any imperfect like a champ
Pros: perfect for stock, handles imperfections well
Vehicle:
BMW
I have the Bilstein B16\u2019s with just over 15k miles on them, with two very busy autocross seasons. I have zero issues, no noises, no complaints.
Pros: zero issues, no noises
Cons: not rebuildable
Mileage: 24140 km
When I got my new 1992 Corrado SLC I thought the shocks were too soft and replaced them with Bilsteins. They are still fine after 30 years.
Pros: still fine after 30 years
Cons: shocks were too soft
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
Not long after I purchased it I put all new Bilstein PSS9 struts on and about a year after that I completely refreshed my front suspension (control arms, tie rods, end links, strut mounts, etc.).
Pros: completely sorted car
Cons: parts are expensive
Vehicle:
Porsche
I choose H&R lowering springs and Bilstein B6 shocks. A system a little firmer than stock.
Pros: firmer than stock
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
When my 2013 GTI hit about 90,000 miles I had the shocks/struts changed out to Bilstein B6, great ride quality and I had no intention of ever lowering the car as I commute to a city with terrible roads.
Pros: great ride quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 144840 km
I like the bilstein setup better.
Pros: better than fox
Mileage: 280000 km
So I have the Bilsteins with Eibach springs. City driving sucks a big one. Just too stiff to give in the pot hole heaven, train track crossing, city. On a nice surface they are excellent performers. Really shined on the tail of the dragon.
Pros: excellent on nice surfaces, great performance
Cons: too stiff for city, bad on potholes
I regret putting B6’s on my 530i, the OE sport suspension rode much nicer and handled just as well.
I also had to warranty one of the front struts after a year due to a clunking noise, apparently it’s a very common issue caused by the inverted design.
Pros: none
Cons: clunking noise, common issue
Vehicle:
BMW
