Reviews of Bilstein parts For Business

Shocks started bouncing on mine and I replaced with the same bilsteins about 6 years ago. Back are easy DIY. Front need spring compressor. I have 137k on mine and not a single problem in 16 years. These trucks are amazing.

For this project I used Bilstein HDs and the freshly powder coated H&R lowering springs.

But, the ride on these Bilstein B4's is pretty reasonable on the street. They are a bit stiff but not harsh. The rear is little stiffer than the front, almost too stiff.

After a quick survey of the struts/shocks available, I decided to go with a set of Bilstein B4's front and rear. These aren't adjustable but should match the factory spring rates very nicely.

I've always liked Bilsteins so I decided to go with a set that were made for 2" lifts. Installing the fronts was a bit of a pain as the lower bolt on these trucks likes to seize. The rears were about 10 minutes each side.

Bilstein B6 is for stock springs. The B8's were noticeably firmer than the B4 (sport, which was available for my Passat, due to the available sport package on the car).

i have Billstein 4600's on my ranger and love them.

I just installed bilsteins all around and did my Sway bar mounts/links. My god the difference it made was ridiculous.

The PSS10 actually do OK on the track. They soak up high speed bumps nicely. I have front and rear H&R bars, so even though there is some roll, it is less than say, SHS. It is around town where this combo feels harsh to me.

I ended up buying new bilstein struts and Vogtland springs off some guy who said they were for my FWD, but they're clearly for the AWD. And now he's not returning my messages...
