So I went with Bilstein w/ H&R Sports. Also keeps with the H&R theme as the car came with an H&R RSB \ud83d\ude01. Suspension is finished now, also added Megan Racing Adjustable rear control arms, and it rides great now.

Pros: rides great
Vehicle: Volkswagen

My MRR’s have the exact same symptoms. Also around 30k miles. Dobinsons is awesome and is taking it in on warranty no questions asked really. They’re the best.

Pros: taking it in warranty
Cons: same symptoms
Mileage: 30000 km

Bilstein is also great products and also provide OEMs but they’re usually a bit pricier. I have some on my ‘02 Mustang and they’ve been on there almost 20 years without issue.

Pros: great product, long lasting
Cons: a bit pricier

I’ve got Dobinsons MRA’s on my patrol - highly rate them! I’ve just finished a 7 month lap including the cape and Tele track. Being able to dial them was a godsend for corrugations, definitely helped to dampen the vibrations.

Pros: dampen the vibrations
Cons: rear bracket placement
Vehicle: Nissan Patrol
Mileage: 23000 km

I replaced everything on my front suspension at 150,000. Went with Bilstein B4s, but I wasn't super happy with them when they were new. They're well-damped, but ride on the stiff side.

Pros: well-damped
Cons: ride on the stiff side, not super happy
Mileage: 150000 km

I put Bilstein on and although I loved the way it handled at speed, it was otherwise a disaster, way too stiff and raised the ride height, considerably due to the fact that they were dimensionally incorrect.

Pros: handled well at speed
Cons: too stiff, raised ride height, dimensionally incorrect
Vehicle: BMW
