Owner reviews for shock absorbers

My full list for my 2 inch lift on my 2013 :

Bilstein 5100s , OME 2886 , JBA Off Road High Caster Upper Control Arms , and Ironman 4x4 Medium Duty Leaf Springs

Everyone here will push Bilstein shocks. They're probably best for weight and wheelbase. I put Rancho on mine and leveled the truck by going 1.75" taller up front. Don't hate the ride.

I'd consider the KONI STRT if available for the 2012.

Sachs shocks with Eibach pro-kit springs all round - if your E39 is a petrol straight 6, you need Sachs 556834 front and Sachs 170857 rears with the relevant Eibach pro-kit springs for your engine

I put Bilstein shocks on my 2016. they were a good upgrade in ride quality

Rears I did the KYB and am pleased.

Matagtag talaga yung swift kahit naka KYB New SR.

cheap replacement lang yan..

I have a 2020 BRZ with SACHS performance shock absorbers. I’ve been having a rough ride. Subaru service center said the front struts are weak

My experience with Monroe shocks over the last 42 years of working on cars. Monroe might have a lifetime warranty like the KYB has, accept even though the replacement is free, you still have the hassle of replacing the Monroe shocks every 2 to 3 years.
