Shock absorbers Bilstein or KYB

Go with KYB on Rock Auto. They seem to ride like oem, maybe a touch stiffer before break-in.

I bought the shocks. They're good, very happy with them. Setting 1 is basically stock, though was better controlled with what I had. Setting 8 is noticeably firmer - allows much quicker inputs. Currently have them on 3/8 all around and car is balanced - maybe about as firm as an NB RS.

Put 5100's on my 2014 to replace the blown out ranchos about 3 years back. Worth it, i reused my existing springs and they mounted without a problem. Ride is awesome and you can get them on amazon.

I been running a set of bilstein 5100’s for 5 years on my pro4x no hassles much better ride than the stock shocks.

I find the 6112s ride a bit better at a slightly higher speed compared to 5100s. Taking rough gravel roads in my truck at 25-30 mph is a little rough, but it surprisingly smooths out around 40-45 mph.

I’ve got 6112s after having 5100 and it’s a noticeably better ride and drive

I have 6112’s on my third gen and the difference is pretty amazing. My brother has 5100s on his third gen and I would say my truck feels a lot more planted and controlled. Both are a massive difference over stock.

I have the 5100s and I really like how they ride. Massive improvement over stock.

My brother got KYB ones and they are ok.

They are on the softer side, but so far they last pretty good. 3 years and 60000km and no leaks.

I would rebuild the struts with new KYB shocks and retain the OEM springs and buy new OEM mounts. I have had terrible luck with quickstruts in a Lexus.
