I'm on Bilstein B8. Love it. I've had the Bilsteins on 3 different cars so obviously a fan. Bilstein are surely firmer than stock but not too much
Pros: love it, firmer but not too much

I've got the B6 DCC on my 19 Golf R. Overall I really like this upgrade. I will say that I don't think the Bilsteins made a world of difference compared to the OEM shocks/struts, but the springs seem to have the car more settled and less frantic and ready to bounce off the road over every little bump.
Pros: car more settled
Cons: slight rear rub
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 16000 km
Ive got Bilstein 5100s on my 99 with 4 inches of lift. Drives like a 20 year old truck instead of a 25 year old truck :)
Pros: improved driving experience
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
I got a pair of the 3100 Bilstiens in my 1995 K1500, the old ones WERE STOCK FROM THE DAMN FACTORY, I replaced them and gave me about an inch of lift and drives like something else, I highly recommend them, plus they come with stickers to slap on your window or the tailgate
Pros: improved driving, inch of lift
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
I've always just run Monroe gas-matics but currently have Billsteins on my Suburban. They're a stiffer ride and more expensive but are durable.
Pros: durable, stiffer ride
Cons: more expensive
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Suburban
I recently installed the metal tech conversion kit with Bilstein 5100s. Rides like a dream!
Pros: rides like a dream
Vehicle:

Bilstein B8s…..by a long shot. You get the lowering support you need and the ride comfort is almost on par with stock ride. Only the worst road hazards are felt.
Pros: ride comfort is good
Cons: worst road hazards felt
Bilstein 4600, usually go for about 90-100 a piece. I run them on all of our cars, Sequoia included.
Pros: good price
Vehicle:
Toyota Sequoia
I then replaced the front with some Bilsteins (I forget the model) along with other suspension components (OEM) a few months later. These pretty much feel the same as stock to me.
Pros: feel the same
Vehicle:
Toyota Sequoia
Put 5100's on my 2014 to replace the blown out ranchos about 3 years back. Worth it, i reused my existing springs and they mounted without a problem. Ride is awesome and you can get them on amazon.
Pros: ride is awesome
Vehicle:
Nissan
