However if you're willing to spend upwards of $300 per shock bilstein b6 shocks go great with heavy loads.
Koni yellow shocks and struts, neuspeed lowering springs, and GLI front and rear discs w/ECS braided lines... the car rides and drives beautifully now!
Koni Heavy Track Raid but just be sat down when you look at the price
Bilsteins would be a better option to choose from as they have direct replacement shock valving that offers a better ride then the stock rancho's but its all personal preference. Bilsteins while stiffer then stock some find too stiff (they're main goal you can say is handling)
Bilsteins have never failed to deliver for me. They spend so much on R&D and valving test and tune that they just perform so much better.
Bilstein 5100 is what I replaced them with. The ride is a lot better.
Bilstein B4’s are perfect for stock replacements. I have a set all around. Takes any imperfect like a champ
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.
I’m stock for now, and probably only going to upgrade to some entry/mid-level Bilstein.
I'd personally recommend sticking to OEM (probably Sachs or Boge). My Bilstein warranty return rate since 2016 is close to 100%. B4, B6, B14. All of them. Quality fell off a cliff.
