That's great but remember that they are very firm for their intended us by designe. B4 is already 10% firmer than stock and has proper rebound damping.
I tried this as one of four combinations of suspension on my 2015 GSW TDI. The B8's and Eibach Pro combo lowered my car about 1 1/2 \" front and rear. The handling was awesome but a bid too firm for the bad roads in my town...I'm getting soft in my old age. I loved the way the car looked.
I run Bilstein 5100s on my 2500. They're a big improvement over stock, but don't expect to get a plush ride
Bilstein 5100's have been the best shock I've ever used on a truck. I've had Fox shocks, even with remote reservoirs... and I'd still take the 5100's.
I replaced all mine at 88k. A little bit before that (maybe around 85k), I started getting wheel hop with WOT in 1st and even a little in 2nd, with stock power. Bilstein B4s, and no more wheel hop :)
The B4 is now available for both ends.
Bilstein B8 Sport is a great strut/shock. I'm using the MKV version on my 2006 GTI paired with H&R Sport and the ride is great.
Used B6s front and rear along with GTI springs, resulted in nearly as smooth and predictable ride and vastly better handling.
I have the "new" GoWesty Bilstein Sport shock installed about a month ago. While they improved everything, I was still disappointed in the body roll.
I hated the Bilstein HD's on my '97 EVC. The ride was way too harsh and jarring.
