It’s firm but not rough and it handled wheeling around Southern Colorado and NW New Mexico just fine, even fully loaded. I’m beyond impressed considering the cost.

Pros: handled wheeling fine
Cons: firm ride
Vehicle: Lexus GX

Bilstein Shock absorbers

It's surprisingly nice. Somehow it feels as sporty as my Forester XT. Occasionally you get a bit of "float" at highway speeds where it feels like you're in a boat or a big old Buick, but it's not uncomfortable by any means. Like riding on a cloud!

Pros: surprisingly nice, sporty feel
Cons: bit of float
Vehicle: Toyota

Bilstein Strut assembly

My 2012 had about 95k miles on it when I replaced the struts this past December. I went with Bilstein B6s and have been happy with them.

Pros: happy with them
Mileage: 95000 km

I went with Bilstein B6/B8's and was pleased with them, but they provided a slightly firmed-up, well-controlled ride compared to my high-mileage OEM units

Pros: well-controlled ride
Cons: slightly firmed-up

I have 6112 front 5100 rear and I cannot express the difference in ride quality and even “handling”. Totally eliminated understeer.

Pros: ride quality, handling
Cons: eliminated understeer

Bilstein Strut assembly

Be careful if you buy rebuilt Phaeton struts. I haven't found any that mention rebuilding the dampers (shocks). They check them and repaint them and put new air bags on them. You can buy new air bags and swap them yourself for less money.

Pros: new air bags available
Cons: rebuilt dampers questionable
Vehicle: Volkswagen Phaeton

I put the 5100 on my 15 Terrain, I don't like them much. I am mostly hwy driving. They're so stiff, you can feel every crack in the road. The nose dive at corners is gone, but very stiff.

Pros: nose dive gone
Cons: very stiff
