I’ve run both and they definitely exist for different reasons! My 280E was lowered with the HDs, and my 300D’s have all run comforts. It sounds like you want the comforts, and they are amazing for sure. Smooooooth ride, makes for lovely cruising.
It’s been about 23 days now with the bilsteins. And it is definitely a noticeable improvement. It definitely rides better
Everest Tremor gets uprated suspension which comprises a 26mm lift. Along with new springs, larger Bilstein shock absorbers – with position-sensitive damping and piggyback-style external reservoirs
Every time I buy a Bilstein monotube I am ultimately more satisfied. Bilsteins seem to last forever.
I had both back to back on an e46 M3 autocrosser and the Bilstein was better all round, street & ‘track’.
Having used both in Street class, I feel like the Bilstein is the answer unless you're a knob turner. They have more compression generally than Koni, but will ride a bit harsher on the street because they're monotube instead of twin tube. The former is typically more performance oriented.
I went with the b6 on my 08 boxster s it really firmed up the ride
I like bilstien myself. Their shock valves tend to be well done. We run B6 on our c5 and it’s great. Very controlled a the comes. And in street my wife daily drives it and finds the ride very good with summer tires
B4 is SE, I run B6 (oem sport height) on the rear and B8 (sport+) on the front with Eibach springs, this setup is low and will catch on some speedbumps.
I’m running Bilstein 5100 + ‘99 tall springs and the ride is a little too rough for my liking.
