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

Pros: transforms the cars handling
Cons: harsh on rough roads
Vehicle: Saab

I put 5100s on the back yesterday and it already feels a lot better - firmer, more controlled going over angled dips in the road (think of railway crossings or water bars etc), and I am surprised at the reduction in roll / wallow.

Pros: firmer, more controlled
Cons: reduction in roll
Vehicle: Ford
Mileage: 26000 km

This month, I installed Koni STR.T shocks... The handling is already way better than factory, just by adding more damping over the Euro Tuned shocks.

Pros: better handling, more damping

Note 5100s are not soak up the bumps kind of shocks. Depending on what you think is atrocious about your current ride, it might not be an improvement. My 08 V8 feels stiffer/sharper on bumps compared to OEM shocks, though it handles them with better composure, less resonance/vibration on hard hits, and handles washboard and bumps better. Also less body roll.

Pros: better composure, less body roll
Cons: stiffer/sharper on bumps
