Shock absorbers Bilstein or FOX

I just got four replacement bilstein b4s for my 2015 Golf from rock auto they were $301 shipped. Sure they aren’t the cheapest but it’s still reasonable and you get a lifetime warranty.

I put a set of of monroe oe spectrum for my wife's tahoe 6 months ago and replaced them again yesterday with some billstein 4600s. It's worth spending the extra money on them.

Bilstein B8s

Prefer the bilstein of the oem kyb. I have the 4600 yellow and blue stock replacement for over ten years. They’re still going strong. The ride is less harsh and also more responsive.

My first impressions of the b6 with the stock springs was also, yes, this is oversprung. After 500 miles, I decided to try the DCC deflected wheels adaptation/update and can confirm it made a difference. Maybe placebo, as the ride height should be the same but it certainly felt less "springy" after. The comfort setting felt the most restored, which made me happy.

For shocks, Bilstein 5100s are pretty much the go-to mid-range shock. A little more expensive than twin tube, but 1/3 the price of stepping up to the next best set, and also long-term streetable unlike Fox, King, or Radflos that require frequent rebuilds.

I think I've got the B6 on my 9-3, might be the B8 I can't remember, whichever one is "street" option for slightly lowered cars not the racing shocks and they ride great! They're bit harsh on rough roads but they perform so good everywhere else. Absolutely transforms the cars handling

Had the Bilstein B8 with H&R springs for some 5K Km during 2 summers and then threw the B8 out for KONI yellow adjustables.

Can only recommend ????

Shock wise people say great things about bilstein 5100s, but I've got no experience with them.

Actually, it rides worse cause I went with Bilstein B6
