Shock absorbers Bilstein or KONI

Konis are amazing, I won't ever run anything else.

I have bilstein B6 straight from IPD. I enjoy them!

I chose the sport suspension version of the B4s. The B4s give a very controlled ride without the stiffness of a B6 or B8, even with the lowered sport suspension versions and the Pro-kits.

At 116k miles, the stock shocks and struts were plenty worn out. I wanted a little more damping than stock, but without sacrificing too much of the OEM ride quality. I found the Bilstein B6 shocks and struts to fit that bill.

The ride quality is superb! It has the right amount of damping in corners for the vehicle type and did not sacrifice ride quality. Highly recommend!

I am running MK3 springs and Bilstien HDs on my 85 Jetta. No rub issues with 185/70R14s.

I put the OEM bilsteins in my e36 sedan and they felt amazing, I didnt realise how shot the original shocks were.

I've been happy with my bilstein B4s i got from rockauto. the highlander of same generation shocks also fit in the rear. the ride is still smooth.

The most popular setup on the [FJ Forum](https://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/) is the Blistein 6112 up front and 5160s in the rear. This is for good reason, when it comes to bang-for-buck the 6112's are hard to beat.

The Bilstein 6112 shocks I installed up front were slightly stiff, which I attribute to their valving.

Actually, it rides worse cause I went with Bilstein B6
