Shock absorbers Bilstein or FOX

I just put new bilsteins on at 100k. So far so good.

I replaced mine around 130k on my 2015 with a pair of Bilstein 5100s, I would have done it way sooner if I knew how much of a difference it would make.

you can always put bilsteins on yourself (not too hard, put the 5100s and lift spacers/ blocks ((if off-roading, do not use front spacers, you will get coil bucket contact and a proper lift may be more expensive but its better on your performance and ball joints, i am mostly highway / town travel)) and it was done within a weekend with rental tools from the auto store).

I made my own poor man's B12 kit! Except mine is now complete with badged housings and early top mounts. No bump stops in the front and vestigial foam stops in the back. I went mild on the cutting. The rears could go up a lot or down a little without cutting. Excited to see how she sits. Took some before measurements for what it's worth.

Update, went with the Comfort (B4)s... and they feel great. Comfy.

Went with bilstein b4’s and eibach pro kit. Couldn’t be more happier

You can try new shock absorbers and springs in the back to start with, youll gain a bit of ride height and bounce control, make sure to avoir super cheap brands because they are not worth it, stick with Bilstein/kyb/sach/mando/ for shocks

B8 with lowering springs was the sweet spot. Less roll, squat, and dive with a controlled & comfy ride.

In my experience, Billstein shocks will not appreciably improve ride quality. They will, however, improve handling.

The original ones where blown at 60k miles. Going with Bilstein Sports.
