Finally got around to replacing the original worn out shocks. They had 83k miles and 13 years on them! I decided to go with the Bilstein HDs. In my opinion the ride is nearly perfect now. Virtually no bounce or see-sawing when going over speed humps.
Adore the bilstein HD's I have on my accord
My Ram runs stock with 20" wheels and I've converted over to Bilstein 5100 front & rear shocks...
I used Bilsteins on my 97 and they are great.
I also like my W124 on cut springs with sportline spec bilstein shocks more than any close to stock E36 I've ever driven.
Sounds like you would be most happy with Bilstein Comfort/Touring shocks (B4). The Bilstein Sport and HD shocks will provide a much stiffer ride. Having tried the Bilstein HDs, I really didn't care for them at all on my W126. The Bilstein Comfort shocks still improved the handling immensely over the original circa 1987 front shocks on my 560SEL.
I have bilstien hr shocks and struts for my h&R's and I have no complaints.
My mechanic recommended Sachs shocks.
I put on some Bilsteins in the back and removed the rear sway bar and it still drives quite nice.
As you all can see, the dyno showed how the TC Sport are (as also advertised) pretty close to stock, if we look at the compression. The rebound is quiet more than stock thought. But from the graphs is pretty clear that the TC is not any near the advertised 10 or 20% stiffer than stock
