Bilstein B4’s are perfect for stock replacements. I have a set all around. Takes any imperfect like a champ
Pros: perfect for stock, handles imperfections well
Vehicle:
BMW
I have the Bilstein B16\u2019s with just over 15k miles on them, with two very busy autocross seasons. I have zero issues, no noises, no complaints.
Pros: zero issues, no noises
Cons: not rebuildable
Mileage: 24140 km
When I got my new 1992 Corrado SLC I thought the shocks were too soft and replaced them with Bilsteins. They are still fine after 30 years.
Pros: still fine after 30 years
Cons: shocks were too soft
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
I choose H&R lowering springs and Bilstein B6 shocks. A system a little firmer than stock.
Pros: firmer than stock
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
When my 2013 GTI hit about 90,000 miles I had the shocks/struts changed out to Bilstein B6, great ride quality and I had no intention of ever lowering the car as I commute to a city with terrible roads.
Pros: great ride quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 144840 km
My Truck feels almost as cushy as my dad's 22 TRD Pro. I can hit speed bumps at easily 10mph faster without discomfort, it rides great on forest service roads and has less body roll than stock.
Pros: cushy, rides great
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
On our 2014 Mini Cooper S Roadster we installed these Koni’s just a couple of months ago. Ride is much smoother without loosing any steering feel. Speed bumps are much less of a problem now.
Pros: smoother ride, retains steering feel, handles speed bumps
Vehicle:
MINI
I did find the b6 to be on the stiffer side. Not full on race car stuff, but definitely "sporty stiff."
They absorb impacts really well, but you're still gonna feel everything.
Pros: absorb impacts well
Cons: on the stiffer side
Vehicle:
BMW X5
thought new shocks would be a good idea at her age, got the $28 Pedders inspection. They outright MADE UP over 4k in "dangerous, needs attention immediately" work. Outcome: " yeah if you want to upgrade the shocks it won't hurt but yours are perfectly fine"
Cons: made up dangerous work
Vehicle:
Ford
