The shocks on mine went bad and these were the only choice from fcp at the time. They are good shocks, and should last much longer than oem. They shouldn’t mess with the factory dynamics of the car, if that is what you are worried about
I personally recommend the Bilstein B6 series for stock ride height utilizing OEM mounts and bearings. Rides extremely and handles way better than stock.
I'm running Bilstein 5100s front and rear with oem springs
Runs great, very nice and comfortable, eats speed bumps and dog shit roads like a champ. Very oem ride feel, just a tad stiffer, rebounds quicker and doesn't hit the bump stops on large drops like I experienced on oem
I love my Bilsteins, just the cheap yellow ones I forget the model. The vehicle is stiffer and infinitely better in corners and on the highway.
So far they are running great on my 02 limited 4wd
I also bought front shocks absorbers from autodoc for £70 each Bilstein B4 (really good brand)
For the really nice ride part, I got the Bilstein 5160 shocks. Install was a bit goofy, but manageable. They really make a huge difference compared to the rough country shocks I had on there. I fly into bumpy areas just to feel how nicely they dampen.
I've been really happy with my Bilstein 5100 shocks and OME heavy load springs with all of my added armor weight. After I picked up a trackbar correction kit and got my geometry right the rig rides better than any new truck!
I have 5100s with 2.25" of lift and I've lost 2" of downtravel
B4s are below the level of stock replacement, at least for the 335 and 340. I used them previously on my E92 335i, and they were blown after 15k miles.
