For me Sachs is the way to go for original quality and driving dynamics. I have Sachs on all 4 corners on both my W124s and they are great.
BUT op if I were you, I'd replace just the shocks (keep the Sachs springs) and replace with OE Sachs shocks (struts) Bilstien also makes yellows with OE ride height i believe, that would be the best street ride quality.
I just installed Sachs shocks, and I love the ride
I’ve had both for a rwd N52, currently on Sachs. But the Sachs are still really good and worth it for the savings over the B4.
My local BMW shop suggested the OEM replacement Sachs and I agreed. Im very happy with them. Made the bumps much more manageable while still retaining that BMW stiffness we love about these cars.
I went with Sachs dampers which are OEM but sportier than my stock zhp dampers. I don’t regret it one bit
Sachs are great! Came stock on the SR 2016 Altima and they ride great, stiff and sporty.
The difference is night and day, car is 30mm lower front and 15mm in the back. Feels more planted, feedback is more responsive and absorbs bumps a bit firmer but still feels nicer than the floatier stock setup. Previously would float into a corner whereas it feels predictable and how a Bimmer should.
I recently replaced them with the Sachs oe equivalent to save money. They’re a softer ride than the B4 and in hindsight, while not a bad purchase, I would have preferred the B4.
They put on new oem Sachs shocks, which are too soft.
