I have recently installed new front shock absorbers Bilstein b4 together with top and bottom mounts. car drives like new, before it was kind of scary on the highway, wobbly and unpredictable. now suspension is sturdy, reminds me of tesla model 3 driving, you feel bumps,but car is kind of sporty,strict,even at 130 kmh. already driven 1.5 k km on new suspension, no problems so far

Pros: car drives like new, sturdy suspension
Cons: wobbly and unpredictable
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 77000 km

the Cayenne just had an engine out re-seal + timing chain job, is already deleted, and had the suspension replaced with GTS springs + F/R sway bars and Bilstein B6 at 160K miles.

Pros: suspension replaced, reliable vehicle
Vehicle: Porsche Cayenne
Mileage: 160000 km

I’ve had great results by simply driving it. Regular oil change intervals and fix any thing that breaks

What I’ve replaced so far:

Alternator

All the idler pulleys and serpentine belt

Upper control arms (old man emu)

Bilstien shocks and springs

Front Wheel bearings.

Front brake rotors (upgraded to the bigger v8 4Runner rotors and calipers

3 new sets of calipers.

Rear brakes. Rotors pads and e brake shoes

Stainless Brake lines.

Pros: super reliable

I have a 460 and I did the 6100/5100 combo. The front dives HARD during aggressive breaking, so much so that I worry about the safety of it. But otherwise it rides nice and feels really good on and off road.

Pros: rides nice, feels good
Cons: front dives HARD
Vehicle: Lexus

Service writer gave me a ticket for Bilstein front and rear shocks on a 17 tundra, had to rebuild the front struts with the new set. I assumed it was the oem replacement... There's a small snap ring on the shaft of the shock that adjusts the spring seat (also the spring seat in this picture is installed upside down, something I too figured out the hard way).

Cons: spring seat upside down
