i have the bilstein b8 on my other car which is lowered sport dampers they are super comfortable and sporty
I also felt that swapping to Koni shocks in the rear made the car feel better to drive -- the stock rear shocks didn't have much low speed rebound, so the trunk would feel like it was floating if I went over crests. The Konis fixed that.
Just put in some new Bilsteins last week.
I went with Blistens 6112s and 5161s and have been pleased. A nice compromise between price and ride quality.
My Bilstein shocks have 300k km
On them and no leaking or anything, just a torn dust guard
Bilstein 5100’s are great
I put on some Bilstein shocks and they were still good 15 years later when I swapped them out with new ones after redoing the entire suspension to add some lift.
I got Koni Yellows. Adjustable dampening and they don't rattle/clunk like the Billstein B6's apparently do.
I put in 5100’s and wished I had spent the extra few hundred bucks for the 6112’s.
“Upgraded” to Bilstein 4600s with 99’ springs not too long ago and they’re way too rough. You can feel just about every bump in the road and it’s extremely jarring and uncomfortable.
