Shock absorbers Bilstein or Monroe

Stock springs with Bilstein TC = "Most Comfortable" Everything else is a compromise between looks, comfort and handling.

The Bilstein sports are a good choice for a cupkit. I think the ones I have are Bilstein HD. They came off my old vr gti. So far Im happy with them

I finally got a chance to install the new Bilstein sport shocks today, despite the rain. I can't give a full review of them because it was rainy and wet today. But, they are significantly stiffer.

Has 3.5L head conversion - same as period Alpina B9. 5-speed, LSD, Bilsteins and Recaro interior all from factory. Great fun to drive. Very reliable - and even economical.

I installed a complete set of Bilstien HD shocks on my EV this weekend. All I can say is wow, they transformed the ride! The old OEM shocks were shot, all four had zero rebound.

When I first got my caddy I lifted it with cabriolet springs and bilstein hd shocks... With 17" wheels I had over 12" of clearance

If you decide to go with the Routan SE you could change out the rear shocks for Monroe Sensa Trac. They are load adjusting and will support the extra weight of towing. They were very easy to install on our SUV, provide better handling and the vehicle stays level with over 500 pounds loaded in the back.

Bilsteins will make for a stiffer feeling ride, while having performance oriented valving and will last forever.

I wouldn't run Bilsteins myself since they make the ride too hard to my arse.
