Reviews of Bilstein shock absorbers

I have switched my Ranchos out to Bilsteins 6112 in the front and 5100s in the rear...

Bilstein 4600 at a minimum. Quality shocks make too big of a difference, you definitely get what you pay for.

The combo 6112/5100s ride much better than stock, although it was a bit firm to start.

I have 6112/5160. Rides well. Quite firm at first but that may have been new springs breaking in.

I had 6112s on my 3rd gen 4R and it drove awesome and felt planted (for a lifted truck). When I bought my 470 it came with 5100s already installed. It feels comparatively tippy/sloppy.

I have 6112 up front with 5100s for the rear. I have upgraded the springs that net me ~.5” lift after adding the RTT, etc. rides great - highly recommend.

I just got four replacement bilstein b4s for my 2015 Golf from rock auto they were $301 shipped. Sure they aren’t the cheapest but it’s still reasonable and you get a lifetime warranty.

I put a set of of monroe oe spectrum for my wife's tahoe 6 months ago and replaced them again yesterday with some billstein 4600s. It's worth spending the extra money on them.

Bilstein B8s

Prefer the bilstein of the oem kyb. I have the 4600 yellow and blue stock replacement for over ten years. They’re still going strong. The ride is less harsh and also more responsive.
