Everest Tremor gets uprated suspension which comprises a 26mm lift. Along with new springs, larger Bilstein shock absorbers – with position-sensitive damping and piggyback-style external reservoirs

Pros: uprated suspension, larger shock absorbers
Vehicle: Ford

I had both back to back on an e46 M3 autocrosser and the Bilstein was better all round, street & ‘track’.

Pros: better all round, street & track
Vehicle: BMW

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.

Pros: more compression, performance oriented
Cons: harsher ride on street
Vehicle: Toyota MR2

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

Pros: shock valves well done, very controlled, good ride

I currently run Bilsteins, but looking to change to BC Racing ones. Only cos the rear on the Bilsteins don't go low enough (3 finger gap at the lowest rear setting).

Cons: don't go low enough
Vehicle: Fiat 500

Bilstein 5100 are trash unless you're just doing pavement princess driving. Teeth shattering stiffness. I hate them.

Cons: Teeth shattering stiffness
