If you have the $, Bilstein 5100s run fantastic on Toyota pickup and 4wd/4runners. They are a little pricey but you'll feel the difference.
I recommend bilstein. I have the yellow and blue version and they ride great. Still going strong after ten years.
Get you some Bilstein shocks and you're all set for this sticker:
Put new OEM springs matched with Bilstein B4 and they're a bit stiffer now. Awesome for cornering but definitely not as "lush" as they once were. Hopefully they settle a bit more.
I have a 2006 9-3 aero with the v6 and it is a little harsh but I have recently upgraded and gone for bilstein b8 kit with Vogtland lowering springs. I have to say the ride is nice and firm when needed and soft enough day to day.
2in prg spacer lift with bilstien 4600 up front and kyb gas-a-just rear shocks with air lift 1000 bag kit. Best cheap setup for these machines.
I love mine, but it will be a rough ride on the road if your suspension geometry is off.
Bilstein 5100s, I love them on mine. They take a while to break in, but just go beat on them off-road for a day and they’re dreamy.
I put B4's on our 2008 535xi a few years ago. I first thought they were stiff but I decided the old ones were really soft. B4 was listed as the OEM equivalent.
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.
