I put Bilstein’s on my 16. First did the silver ones, forget the model. Those lasted 2 years. Changed those out to the uglier yellow with blue boots last summer. I like the ugly ones better.
I have the bilsteins and have no complaints. Thought they were a quality shock for the money. I really forget that I even have new shocks on the truck which tells me that they are doing their job well. Side note: I go on quite a few adventures with my truck, so the shocks get put through solid testing off road.
See vogtland springs and bilstein shocks. I used on mine and love em.
Stick to Bilstein, just put a set on my truck 10k ago. Rides a million times better
My dad's 2018 Tacoma has bilsteins and they felt great.
They are on most of my cars, i have never been let down by the yellow bilstein HDs.
I ran the bilsteins with h&r sport springs for 100km on my b6 cabrio (2004) Little stiffer then factory. But not unbearable at all.
B6 is perfect imo for a sporty street driving car. I had a 320i where the stock shocks were terrible, and switched to stock springs + B6. The ride immediately improved and it wasn't stiff at all. You do feel a bit more of the ground but it's a lot less crashy when bad pavement exists.
Typical issues (my car had all of these save the throttle body): -Dampers are normally done by 80k miles -Front lower control arm bushings tear and fail
From what I remember they have a stiff ride (any Bilstein equipped vehicle I've ever owned is stiff IMO) and they don't really flex that well.
