I use bilstein shocks too.
I converted a 760GLE to 5.0 Mustang power and everything I could get from IPD. The Bilsteins / urethane bushings and sway bars made that thing a weapon on the curves.
Have a look at some Koni sports they keep the car handling well and can lower it to close that gap up a bit and take off the blue tint.
Quick look on Autodoc it's \u00a3120 for a pair of Bilstein's. Do the top mounts too. Probs \u00a320 each.
JB74W. Stock springs. I have just fitted Bilstein 24-321730 front and 24-327336 rear. It has improved small bump compliance and the rebound rate of the rears is better matched to the springs.
I’d invest in Bilstien sport struts and shocks blue and yellow .they really improve the ride while keeping the stock feel
I\u2019d personally recommend some Koni yellows off FM.
On my 2017 I just did bilstein 4600s without replacing the springs and it rides amazing, night and day from the rancho.
In terms of the shocks themselves - Bilstein seem to have a solid reputation except for one former Bilstein fan on Youtube who had multiple failures in fairly quick succession a few years ago. I'm hoping their QA just took a hit for a while and the quality issues have been resolved, what's everyone else's experience of the longevity of these shocks? I doubt they'll hold up as incredibly well as the OEs have but I'd expect five years from them.
They’re complete garbage. i had one go bad at 11k. I also had all of them replaced due to the bottoming out issue on my diesel. I couldn’t wait to get them off my Jeep. They last about 20k. Replaced them with Bilstein 5100s.
