However if you're willing to spend upwards of $300 per shock bilstein b6 shocks go great with heavy loads.
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.
When I got my new 1992 Corrado SLC I thought the shocks were too soft and replaced them with Bilsteins. They are still fine after 30 years.
I choose H&R lowering springs and Bilstein B6 shocks. A system a little firmer than stock.
I installed bilstein shocks all around, but noticed no noticeable difference from original stock.
I personally had Bilstein OE replacements on my E46 that were leaking and failed even though they were practically brand new when we removed them.
