Shock absorbers Bilstein or KYB

Hello everyone, I just recently had my stock Rancho shocks replaced with Bilstein 5100s front and rear.

The Golf R springs with Bilstein B6 dampers did moderately lower the wagon's body roll and, paradoxically, not really negatively affect ride quality from what I can tell.

I run Bilstein B4s in my project Rabbit. The car rides and handles great now. I drove it to work not long after getting it back together, and it was a very smooth, quiet ride.

Bilstein B6 for stiffer suspension -- helped a ton with tire wear given our driving habits and locale. Much better ride in the twisties.

I’m running Whiteline springs with B8’s it’s similar to stock in ride comfort, but far more compliant and sticks to the road

well.

I did the same thing a few years ago, the b6’s have held up and ride better than stock

Replace OEM Sport Suspension with OEM standard Springs, new Bilstein B4 Shocks - $1500

I run kyb with tein springs on both of my spyders and they've been great

TRD shocks were not super happy with towing, these I changed out with Bilstein 5100's at 70k miles.

I was expecting KYB to last way longer than this. The OEM struts/shocks on my 2007 Rav4 lasted 193k, and I replaced the front struts and rear shocks with KYB from RockAuto. After 37k miles (230k miles now), it's bouncy again.
