Bilstein › Strut assembly

I paired Bilstein B6 struts with H&R springs. Absolutely night-and-day. The car feels so much more secure and planted. The B6's shorter stroke and beefier build prove to be a great quality ride, even in comfort and normal mode. There's little-to-no dive, and the front corners are more responsive and poised under load.

Pros: more secure and planted

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 37000 km

I have Bilstein B8 front struts with eibach pro kit springs. So far they have offered me a much firmer ride and a more confident handling experience. The stock boots don't do much for keeping them clean though. Mine are squeaking like crazy!

Pros: firmer ride, confident handling

Cons: squeaking like crazy

Part number: B8

I like the bilstein touring struts. They are a great value for a slightly sportier than stock strut.

Pros: great value, sportier than stock

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

But, the ride on these Bilstein B4's is pretty reasonable on the street. They are a bit stiff but not harsh. The rear is little stiffer than the front, almost too stiff.

Pros: reasonable ride on street

Cons: bit stiff, rear stiffer

Vehicle: Volkswagen

After a quick survey of the struts/shocks available, I decided to go with a set of Bilstein B4's front and rear. These aren't adjustable but should match the factory spring rates very nicely.

Pros: match factory spring rates

Cons: aren't adjustable

Vehicle: Volkswagen

I replaced the front struts (bilistine B4 standard stock replacements) and front strut mounts/bearings and ball-joints. It's annoying that I'd already replaced all this stuff once but it was old and dead and needed replaced again.

Cons: old and dead

Vehicle: Volkswagen Scirocco

Clunks:

I wound up getting Bilsteins off Tire Rack. The Bilstein indicates the stroke is a little shorter for lowered vehicles, but I have yet to notice them topping out on me anywhere. I'm quite happy with Bilsteins, zero complaints.

Pros: zero complaints

Cons: shorter stroke
