Shock absorbers Bilstein or GABRIEL

Having used both in Street class, I feel like the Bilstein is the answer unless you're a knob turner. They have more compression generally than Koni, but will ride a bit harsher on the street because they're monotube instead of twin tube. The former is typically more performance oriented.

I went with the b6 on my 08 boxster s it really firmed up the ride

I like bilstien myself. Their shock valves tend to be well done. We run B6 on our c5 and it’s great. Very controlled a the comes. And in street my wife daily drives it and finds the ride very good with summer tires

I personally have Bilstein 4600 shocks, and they're pretty smooth after break-in.

Put mine on at 90k getting to 125k deep into a Canadian winter, couldn't be happier.

I have b4 shocks for sport suspension, the ride is never harsh, takes hits and potholes very well, but when cruising down a freeway the car is a little busy feeling as in firm/ with a slight jiggle but never harsh if that makes sense

Handles very well on backroads,

I replaced the six year old KYB Excel-G shocks with Gabriel Max Control. The reviews say they are firm shocks. They are firmer than the KYB when they were new, but not too firm . Perfect for my liking. They really handle speed bumps well and almost completely eliminate sway when driving on mountain roads. Also, the truck stays level when coming to a stop. No nosedive.

I have a 2017 that I did 6112/5160s on and it's hands down my favorite mod.

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.

I’m actually not a huge fan of the bilstein after having the 5100 on for a couple years now.
