Owner reviews for shock absorbers

My truck only had 80K when I changed the front shocks and coils with KYB. Totally different ride than before. It now steers like it's on rails with very little steering wheel input. Change the coils no matter your choice.

My local BMW shop suggested the OEM replacement Sachs and I agreed. Im very happy with them. Made the bumps much more manageable while still retaining that BMW stiffness we love about these cars.

I went with Sachs dampers which are OEM but sportier than my stock zhp dampers. I don’t regret it one bit

i have the bilstein b8 on my other car which is lowered sport dampers they are super comfortable and sporty

I change mine to bridgestone xm2plus size 185/50/15, rim 15/6.5j/et40. Monroe absorber with eibach spring. And put on ultra racing engine bar and rear antirollbar. Handling so nice, feel the different. I use for daily drive.

I also felt that swapping to Koni shocks in the rear made the car feel better to drive -- the stock rear shocks didn't have much low speed rebound, so the trunk would feel like it was floating if I went over crests. The Konis fixed that.

Just put in some new Bilsteins last week.

I went with Blistens 6112s and 5161s and have been pleased. A nice compromise between price and ride quality.

With that said the lift part of the kit . Pucks or springs are not bad , it’s usually the shocks they sell that are junk .

factory FOX shocks knocked over road bumps (valving issue - needed to be replaced)
