Look into Eibach shocks. I have bilstein 5100 on front with eibach in rear. I like them at the price point and they are like a 5100 but they dial down the harshness.
N3s are nice for on road driving. They offer a plush ride. Everyone says go Bilstein 5100, and while they do perform better off-road, they are noticeably firmer on the street.
It’s firm but not rough and it handled wheeling around Southern Colorado and NW New Mexico just fine, even fully loaded. I’m beyond impressed considering the cost.
KYB Gas a just is a monotube like Fox, Rancho, Bilstein, on the economical side, and still perform well for a daily driver.
It's surprisingly nice. Somehow it feels as sporty as my Forester XT. Occasionally you get a bit of "float" at highway speeds where it feels like you're in a boat or a big old Buick, but it's not uncomfortable by any means. Like riding on a cloud!
I drive on paved roads 80% of the time, it’s very smooth. No complaints, great even on hard turns
I have Bilstein B8s on my lowered Alltrack and I love how they work w/ my springs. Very controlled over the very imperfect road surfaces of California. ha.
I replaced the Ranchos with Bilstein 5100's after a couple thousand miles, night and day difference.
I used to have a factory set of optional Bilstein TRD Greys in my JZZ30 Toyota Soarer, they were on the firm side of things - could probably have benefited from a different spring rate.
Every time I get kyb they work great for like 6 months to a year and then they suck. I put the OEM shocks on my truck cause I didnt wanna keep changing them.
