I've always liked Bilsteins so I decided to go with a set that were made for 2" lifts. Installing the fronts was a bit of a pain as the lower bolt on these trucks likes to seize. The rears were about 10 minutes each side.
Bilstein B6 is for stock springs. The B8's were noticeably firmer than the B4 (sport, which was available for my Passat, due to the available sport package on the car).
i bought some Cheap monroe oem style shocks and i have a nice soft ride for an every day Car.
i have Billstein 4600's on my ranger and love them.
I just installed bilsteins all around and did my Sway bar mounts/links. My god the difference it made was ridiculous.
I am very happy with these shocks. Beating the crap out of them in a city that has potholes and roads that would swallow a Smartcar.
I had Bilsteins on my 2007 ranger when I bought it new from the dealer. I replaced them at around 93k miles, with more Bilsteins of course. I would recommend them if it is in your budget
I've just installed 5100s at all four corners. The new shocks nicely compliment my rear anti-sway bar and upgraded front anti-sway bar. My truck handles nice and flat on curves of all kinds.
I've had Bilstein Sports in the front and Bilstein HD in the back on my B4 PASSAT WAGON. Th eride was way too firm.
I have had Bilstein HDs on my GLS for a couple years now and I also think they are too soft. Still too much body sway and roll, especially loaded for a trip, in my opinion.
