I got full bilstein b8, vogtland lowering springs and tubular rear Control arms. All bushings new ofc. Handles like a beast in the mountains with some semi slicks.
I did mine with Bilstein 4600s on all four corners. Rides great!
i did all 4 corners. replaced with alltrack-specific Bilstein b6 which was a huge handling upgrade.
I ran 5100's f/r for awhile before installing a 2" lift. They rode great. They still ride great with the lift springs I installed later to accompany them. They feel like the "Sport" setting in the AHC switch would've felt like if you had good stock shocks. They're not spine compressing stiff in the slightest.
I had Bilstein B8s with Neuspeed Sport springs and the damping is way better, and adjustable with clicks at the base of the shocks, with B16s even though the spring rates are significantly higher. B8/NSS were bouncy in comparison over expansion joints, etc.
Bilstein shocks will dramatically transform the on road experience
The answer is always the same. Bilstein 5100.
Get factory msport springs and Bilstein B6s and roll on. The springs will give the car a slightly more aggressive look than base E91 hight while still giving each corner plenty of travel. The B6s will give you a tight, yet smooth ride.
Some people say Bilstein 5100 remove nose dive, but I disagree - the 5100 help, but you still nose dive.
Service writer gave me a ticket for Bilstein front and rear shocks on a 17 tundra, had to rebuild the front struts with the new set. I assumed it was the oem replacement... There's a small snap ring on the shaft of the shock that adjusts the spring seat (also the spring seat in this picture is installed upside down, something I too figured out the hard way).
