My shocks were a bit baggy after 90k miles so I took the opportunity to upgrade to Bilstein B6 shocks. Handling and braking was vastly improved.

Pros: handling vastly improved, braking vastly improved

I have hr and bilstein. Makes a big difference but is stiffer. If I can do it again I would go with hr and koni adjustable, I hear it's not as stiff.

Pros: makes a big difference
Cons: is stiffer

I have a 460 and I did the 6100/5100 combo. The front dives HARD during aggressive breaking, so much so that I worry about the safety of it. But otherwise it rides nice and feels really good on and off road.

Pros: rides nice, feels good
Cons: front dives HARD
Vehicle: Lexus

Service writer gave me a ticket for Bilstein front and rear shocks on a 17 tundra, had to rebuild the front struts with the new set. I assumed it was the oem replacement... There's a small snap ring on the shaft of the shock that adjusts the spring seat (also the spring seat in this picture is installed upside down, something I too figured out the hard way).

Cons: spring seat upside down
