Shock absorbers Bilstein or KYB

I have a 1993 GL with Bilstein HDs. They are firm but I would not want them firmer. On a heavier VR6 camper I would think they'd be even more suitable for the job.

Bilstein does make an easily-obtained, affordable, heavy-duty shock absorber (front and rear) that's a direct bolt-up option for these cars. It's what I swear by.

I ended up doing neuspeed sport springs and bilsteins. I still need to do sway bars especially rear because it has the stock push to it. It handles great and comfortable.

I have used Monroe, Gabriel, and now KYB. I am convinced the KYB provides better control AND ride.

Based on what I've experienced with my S3 w/o the mag ride w/18s. The ride quality is fine. Part of my drive to work is a country road I drive that is 15 miles of very bumpy asphalt that has been patched over and over. I'm looking forward to trying it out at an autocross in the coming weeks. I surmise the standard suspension will do very well. The ride is on par w/an Evo w/newer KYB shocks or older Bilsteins which is great for me, but others may find it a bit firm.

He went with Bilstein shocks/struts (TC) and MK3 VR6 Neuspeed SofSport springs. About 1 finger of wheel gap all the way around on 15" Steelies with 205/50's. Looks pretty good.

Bilstein Shocks with Eibach springs and Ground Control Sleeves

Get a Tacoma, then throw some Bilsteins on it (if it doesn't already have them) and a set of Michelins tires. Will ride nice.

Instead of replacing it with factor components, I decided to remove the setup in its entirety and replace it with Bilstein Sport Shocks and B&G Sport Springs. The springs are progressive which keeps a very factory-like smoothness to the ride but allows for tighter handling.

I've had the chance to daily Billstein shocks w/Eibach springs...with stock shocks w/HR drop springs...The Bill and KW setups had/have Meyle HD front bushings and R32 control arm bushings.
