Reviews of Bilstein parts For Business

On my 2017 I just did bilstein 4600s without replacing the springs and it rides amazing, night and day from the rancho.

Ended up with Billsteins on the GLS. Better than the Sachs stock.

I have B8 Performance with Hotchkiss lowering springs. It rides great but it’s probably one step more than you need. B6 is likely the way to go.

Both great, sounds like you’d do well with boosting B6. Sporty and an upgrade without being harsh. We have them on my wife’s c5 Vett and she likes them

I have recently installed new front shock absorbers Bilstein b4 together with top and bottom mounts. car drives like new, before it was kind of scary on the highway, wobbly and unpredictable. now suspension is sturdy, reminds me of tesla model 3 driving, you feel bumps,but car is kind of sporty,strict,even at 130 kmh. already driven 1.5 k km on new suspension, no problems so far

the Cayenne just had an engine out re-seal + timing chain job, is already deleted, and had the suspension replaced with GTS springs + F/R sway bars and Bilstein B6 at 160K miles.

Zimmerman Drilled Rotors

-EBC Yellowpads

-Bilstein B6 DCC Shocks (replaced at 97K miles)

I’ve had great results by simply driving it. Regular oil change intervals and fix any thing that breaks

What I’ve replaced so far:

Alternator

All the idler pulleys and serpentine belt

Upper control arms (old man emu)

Bilstien shocks and springs

Front Wheel bearings.

Front brake rotors (upgraded to the bigger v8 4Runner rotors and calipers

3 new sets of calipers.

Rear brakes. Rotors pads and e brake shoes

Stainless Brake lines.

In terms of the shocks themselves - Bilstein seem to have a solid reputation except for one former Bilstein fan on Youtube who had multiple failures in fairly quick succession a few years ago. I'm hoping their QA just took a hit for a while and the quality issues have been resolved, what's everyone else's experience of the longevity of these shocks? I doubt they'll hold up as incredibly well as the OEs have but I'd expect five years from them.

Stay away from 5100’s… they’re a rough and nasty ride
