Owner reviews for shock absorbers

The most noticeable upgrade I did on mine was a better set of shocks and struts. You don\u2019t have to do a leveling kit, just something higher quality like a set Bilstein 4600s.

I bought my '25 with 8000km on it from my dealer. And I have zero regrets.

It comes with all the weird quirks found here (clunk on acceleration, strange honk which I think is shocks when going over bumps or off curbs and the auto start/stop...

Well, it's home and boy oh boy does it feel tight as a drum ????????

It's firmer than the Sachs/Eibach combo; but not stupidly - you still feel the bumps, lumps and potholes as I did before, but there's no 'crashyness' over them; it just rides over them now

BMW S1000RR has generally had fantastic brakes, and the gen3 initially had Hayes made brakes which were superb (but they did have a recall due to leaks), and now BMW uses Nissin made calipers on the S1000RR. I haven't ridden the gen3, but I hear the brakes are superb. Honda CBR1000RR-R also use high spec Nissin brakes. I've owned a Daytona 675 with Nissin brakes and KYB suspension and they're 90% as good as Brembo M50 and OEM Ohlins. The rear KYB shock absorber unit even had high speed and low speed compression damping adjustment, the Ohlins on the Daytona 675R didn't have this separate speed-based damping adjustment.

Had a mystery clunk from my front end on a 21TRD pro. Drove me crazy and the dealership near me thought I was. Took it to another shop and they found my fox shocks lost the nitrogen charge that sits on the oil. New shocks, fixed.

KYB Gas A Just front and rear on mine. They’re great.

Two out of four were leaking at 40k on mine so I just got rid of them for some Falcon shocks. I’m not sure if they’re that great..but they do ride pretty decent..

73k on mine, a set of tires, oil and filter changes every 5k, air filter and cabin filter every six months. two sets of rear shocks replaced under warranty.

Blown out ranchos

Got Bilstein coilovers Summer 2024, new socks mounts, the whole 9 yards...the other day I heard reaaly bad clanking thought maybe it was a bad sway bar end link...NOPE. Completely obliterated shock absorbers. They were brand new too.
