I ran the bilsteins with h&r sport springs for 100km on my b6 cabrio (2004) Little stiffer then factory. But not unbearable at all.
Pros: little stiffer then factory
Cons: not unbearable
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 100 km
B6 is perfect imo for a sporty street driving car. I had a 320i where the stock shocks were terrible, and switched to stock springs + B6. The ride immediately improved and it wasn't stiff at all. You do feel a bit more of the ground but it's a lot less crashy when bad pavement exists.
Pros: ride immediately improved
Vehicle:
BMW
I don't trust brands like Monroe or Duralast, so I was going to order some Bilstein B4s ($65.00 each) and re-use my old springs.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Consensus on OE replacement, same ride height is OE or Bilstein B4s, about 10% stiffer. Alltrack specific B6 came out, finally, in front struts about 8 months ago, but are sold out
Pros: 10% stiffer
Cons: sold out, backordered
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have 6112/5160 with icon leafs and UCAs, love it. Really transforms the truck.
Pros: transforms the truck
Yes - they are different form the regular golf wagon. 55mm (AT) knuckle vs 50 (golf). definitely go with Alltrack-specific Bilstein B4 or B6 (not just OE replacement).
Pros: Alltrack-specific
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I put h&r sport springs with standard Bilstein struts on my touring a few months ago
Sits mabye a hair lower than a stock non-xi car
Should be a pic in my history if you want to take a look
Pros: sits lower than stock
Vehicle:
BMW
I’ve had 5100s and fox 2.0s.
The 5100s are over damped, unless you drive fast as hell or drive your truck like a sports car the fox’s are gonna ride way better
Pros: fox rides way better
Cons: 5100s are over damped
Im not a fan of Bilstein 5100, they replaced a set of blown rough country shocks on a rig i bought and the ride honestly felt the same to me.
Cons: ride felt the same
