Bilstein 5100s get over hyped, badly. I have them and I don’t mind them but they aren’t what they get made out to be. Also, their finish is crap and will look terrible in a year.
Pros: I don’t mind them
Cons: finish is crap

I bought my car with Bilsteins (B6) and I think they suck. The grip is good but they are unbelievably harsh.
Pros: good grip
Cons: unbelievably harsh
Vehicle:
BMW
My Bilstein shocks have 300k km
On them and no leaking or anything, just a torn dust guard
Pros: no leaking, long lasting
Cons: torn dust guard
Mileage: 300000 km
B4 is SE, I run B6 (oem sport height) on the rear and B8 (sport+) on the front with Eibach springs, this setup is low and will catch on some speedbumps.
Pros: low setup
Cons: catches on speedbumps
Bilstein 5100’s are great
Pros: are great
I put on some Bilstein shocks and they were still good 15 years later when I swapped them out with new ones after redoing the entire suspension to add some lift.
Pros: long lasting, good for 15 years
I have balistein shock absorbs I dont adivice to use it because its hard
Cons: its hard
I have bilstein B6 straight from IPD. I enjoy them!
Pros: I enjoy them
I chose the sport suspension version of the B4s. The B4s give a very controlled ride without the stiffness of a B6 or B8, even with the lowered sport suspension versions and the Pro-kits.
Pros: very controlled ride
Cons: lowered suspension
At 116k miles, the stock shocks and struts were plenty worn out. I wanted a little more damping than stock, but without sacrificing too much of the OEM ride quality. I found the Bilstein B6 shocks and struts to fit that bill.
The ride quality is superb! It has the right amount of damping in corners for the vehicle type and did not sacrifice ride quality. Highly recommend!
Pros: superb ride quality
Cons: worn out stock shocks
Vehicle:
Mazda
