Reviews of Bilstein parts For Business

I put bilsteins on my 2000 Tahoe and was very impressed with the improvements.

I've got the Bilstein B8's (South Africa, from Mikem in Johannesburg) which I believe the exact same as the 4600's in the picture. I've installed them together with uprated coils in the front and progressive coils in the back: 2" lift all around. Am very very happy with them: the ride is a bit stiffer and she likes a bit more weight in the back now, but damn the ride is so much better, responsive and dynamic. Also on corrugations it gives much more control: would recommend them to anyone.

Ive got the 5100s from bilstein (the adjustable silver ones). Both the 5100 and the 4600 give a much more “responsive” ride. They are noticeably stiffer whereas in my opinion, the OEM shocks are kind of mushy and bouncy. The bilsteins absorb impacts like potholes or trail-rocks in a way that is not only more comfortable, but also makes the driver feel more in control.

This stiffness is very helpful at reducing body roll in sharp turns or sudden stops. It will also give you a more sure-footed, balanced feeling when off road. I love my bilsteins and I think they really tightened up the ride quality of the FJ.

My dad and I put 5100s on out fj and love them. Actually rides significantly better than stock.

I personally have been a Bilstien H&R fan since my first mk4 Frankingolf where I tore down and rebuilt a 4 door golf into a 4 door gti. Have stuck with that combo ever since and that is the ONLY thing that has always worked according to plan.

Bilstein are awesome- but the price is not. I put a set on a 2000 F150 4x4 that I once had and couldn’t believe how much better the truck drove.

I can still rip sweepers at 120mph like my friend with Bilstein B6's, but my car rides so much better over the small uneven bits of pavement.

Just put on a new set of Bilstein 4600's and am liking it. Feels stock and back to new again. Not too stiff, but certainly not squishy like the old worn ones.

i've had them on my 3.6 for about a year and a half and 16,000 miles. absolutley nothing wrong with them, just too stiff for minnesota roads

I have a 2018 GTI with about 15K on Bilstein B8's with MSS street springs. Today while leaving work I heard a pop and rattle from the front end of the car. Pulled over, inspected and found the strut nut sheared at the threads between the strut and the strut mount.
