I put KYB OEM equivalent shocks on my old Crown Vic several years ago. The major brands made the car float and bob like a '62 model. I tried KYB because they had a set for my car and a 2-3 year range. Everyone else was 'this fits '75 thru 2002 models. I was very pleased with them.

Pros: good performance

I LOVE the 5100s on my '20 Z71. The Ranchos had almost zero damping. Going over speed bumps at my kids' school used to cause the truck to wallow around for a second or two before settling down. There's none of that now with the 5100s. It really does feel like a different truck. Very planted.

Pros: feels like different truck, very planted
Cons: Ranchos had zero damping

I put B4's on our 2008 535xi a few years ago. I first thought they were stiff but I decided the old ones were really soft. B4 was listed as the OEM equivalent.

Cons: thought they were stiff

Not apples to apples comparison but I put Bilsteins on my f150 and wish I hadn’t. They are much stiffer, great for towing but not for everything else. Would go stock if I did it again

Pros: great for towing
Cons: much stiffer
Vehicle: Ford
