I tried this as one of four combinations of suspension on my 2015 GSW TDI. The B8's and Eibach Pro combo lowered my car about 1 1/2 \" front and rear. The handling was awesome but a bid too firm for the bad roads in my town...I'm getting soft in my old age. I loved the way the car looked.

Pros: awesome handling, good look
Cons: too firm for bad roads
Mileage: 3800 km

Bilstein 5100's have been the best shock I've ever used on a truck. I've had Fox shocks, even with remote reservoirs... and I'd still take the 5100's.

Pros: best shock ever used

I replaced all mine at 88k. A little bit before that (maybe around 85k), I started getting wheel hop with WOT in 1st and even a little in 2nd, with stock power. Bilstein B4s, and no more wheel hop :)

Pros: no more wheel hop
Cons: wheel hop with WOT
Mileage: 88000 km

Bilstein B8 Sport is a great strut/shock. I'm using the MKV version on my 2006 GTI paired with H&R Sport and the ride is great.

Pros: great strut/shock, ride is great
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Used B6s front and rear along with GTI springs, resulted in nearly as smooth and predictable ride and vastly better handling.

Pros: smooth and predictable ride
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I've had the chance to daily Billstein shocks w/Eibach springs...with stock shocks w/HR drop springs...The Bill and KW setups had/have Meyle HD front bushings and R32 control arm bushings.

Pros: sportier road-holding feel
Cons: car crashed on bumps
Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado
