Love my Bilstein 5100s with my 4.5 inch lift. They have been on it for 5 years now and still do the job in ten sand dunes. No shock fade. Yes on road they are abrupt compared to your parts store junk like Monroe.
I use Bilstien on my truck
Bilstein B4 are good. B6 are better.
My main goal adding the Bilsteins was to correct the sloppy ride of the stock rancho shocks.
Hello everyone, I just recently had my stock Rancho shocks replaced with Bilstein 5100s front and rear.
The Golf R springs with Bilstein B6 dampers did moderately lower the wagon's body roll and, paradoxically, not really negatively affect ride quality from what I can tell.
I run Bilstein B4s in my project Rabbit. The car rides and handles great now. I drove it to work not long after getting it back together, and it was a very smooth, quiet ride.
Bilstein B6 for stiffer suspension -- helped a ton with tire wear given our driving habits and locale. Much better ride in the twisties.
I have Bilstein 6112’s right now but am switching over to the Dobinsons MMR as hundreds of miles of washboard roads have definitely taken their toll.
Their hard parts like control arms and brackets are pretty good, but their soft parts like shocks and joints aren't very good. They tend to be clunky and not last very long.
