Bilstein › Strut assembly

B8's are great. I run them on my MK7. But they need to be paired with more aggressive springs as the B8's are a shorter & stiffer strut. So softer springs will often bottom them out.

Like H&R Sports. Those are a popular combo with the B8 strut.

Yes, you'll notice a difference. As the car will have proper damping. Ride won't be as harsh, bumps won't be bouncy, cornering will be more definitive & sharp.

Pros: proper damping, sharp cornering

Cons: need aggressive springs

My DCC struts and shocks blew out and I was about to bite the bullet and order isweep cancellers along with a set of bilstien b8s. You just saved me $500 and a lot of headache from a less than ideal delete.

Pros: saved money, avoided headache

I live in CT and went back to stock springs with gas charged sporty shocks on my 84 GTI for the same reason. Car is 10x more fun to drive now IMO. Still sporty I'm running the stock springs with Bilstien in the back

Pros: more fun to drive

Stay with HR Sports and get Bilstein 8s, add a GOLF R RSB take off at the same time and have it aligned. You'll have a great setup

Pros: great setup

Bilstein B4/B6 struts are designed for stock springs and really drive the performance upmarket. Last, buy new stock endlinks and get a 22mm solid rear sway bar. You can do all that for <$2K and the car will drive like a 50-60K performance car until 200K miles with no notable maintenance increases.

Pros: drive the performance upmarket

Bounce:

I run bikstein b8 struts with eibach sportline springs. Definitely feels like it hugs the road a little better, less bouncy, and just feels better overall. I didn’t really notice a drop in suspension compared to when I just had the springs on. I’d say worth it if you’re not going to use the adjustability of coils.

Pros: hugs the road better

Cons: less bouncy

Bottoming:

They're definitely a more budget friendly option so don't expect them to preform like fox or king shocks, for a daily you don't care too much about I'd run them, but for a truck you care about and want more performance out of I'd run Bilstein 4600's

Pros: budget friendly option

Cons: performance not top tier

Vehicle: Ford Ranger

Body bounce:

I installed Bilstein B16 DCC shocks/springs. Frankly I hate them. They are not tuned to the chassis well so makes the car pitch over bumps and creak/groan badly

Cons: pitch over bumps, creak/groan
