Bilstein 4600 at a minimum. Quality shocks make too big of a difference, you definitely get what you pay for.
Pros: quality shocks, big difference
Cons: shitty ride
Vehicle:
Ford
Part number: 4600
The combo 6112/5100s ride much better than stock, although it was a bit firm to start.
Pros: ride much better than stock
Cons: bit firm to start
I have 6112/5160. Rides well. Quite firm at first but that may have been new springs breaking in.
Pros: rides well
Cons: quite firm at first
I had 6112s on my 3rd gen 4R and it drove awesome and felt planted (for a lifted truck). When I bought my 470 it came with 5100s already installed. It feels comparatively tippy/sloppy.
Pros: drove awesome, felt planted
Cons: tippy/sloppy
I have 6112 up front with 5100s for the rear. I have upgraded the springs that net me ~.5” lift after adding the RTT, etc. rides great - highly recommend.
Pros: rides great, highly recommend
I just got four replacement bilstein b4s for my 2015 Golf from rock auto they were $301 shipped. Sure they aren’t the cheapest but it’s still reasonable and you get a lifetime warranty.
Pros: reasonable value, lifetime warranty
Cons: not cheapest
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I put a set of of monroe oe spectrum for my wife's tahoe 6 months ago and replaced them again yesterday with some billstein 4600s. It's worth spending the extra money on them.
Pros: worth extra money
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Tahoe
Bilstein B8s
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Prefer the bilstein of the oem kyb. I have the 4600 yellow and blue stock replacement for over ten years. They’re still going strong. The ride is less harsh and also more responsive.
Pros: less harsh, more responsive
