Strut assembly Monroe or Bilstein
Got b4 struts for my e92 with sport suspension back in may-june from them. Holding up good, no issues. Had the rear shocks done a couple months before and bought locally but theyre holding up good too, also b4's.
Then pair them with some Bilstein B4 struts. I have the B4s on my 2008 SE 2.5 and they're fantastic, especially for the price.
Guess I lucked out when I ordered my B6's (talked to the company first and knew they were 4 days out)
Replaced my rear struts with Bilstein. Bilstein is a quality brand comparable (or exceeding IMO) OEM No issues.
Monroe quick struts are what I used. Already assembled and took no time to replace.
I went this route last winter. Got rid of the awful factory suspension and went with GTWORX set up, it includes the Bilstein struts and RaceComp springs. The car is a lot more planted than before. I would say it's the best upgrade you can do, coming from stock, so well worth the $$
B8's are great. I run them on my MK7. But they need to be paired with more aggressive springs as the B8's are a shorter & stiffer strut. So softer springs will often bottom them out.
Like H&R Sports. Those are a popular combo with the B8 strut.
Yes, you'll notice a difference. As the car will have proper damping. Ride won't be as harsh, bumps won't be bouncy, cornering will be more definitive & sharp.
I've used these before on several cars. They ride just fine but don't last all that long.
I regret putting B6’s on my 530i, the OE sport suspension rode much nicer and handled just as well.
I also had to warranty one of the front struts after a year due to a clunking noise, apparently it’s a very common issue caused by the inverted design.
Id stay away from the monroe struts. I originally replaced my blown struts years ago with the monroe's since they were already built. Honestly hated them, made it just under 2 years and swapped them out for the b4's on all 4 corners (rear shocks needed replacing anyways). The monroe struts also had very little rebound left when i pulled them off.
