My main goal adding the Bilsteins was to correct the sloppy ride of the stock rancho shocks.

Hello everyone, I just recently had my stock Rancho shocks replaced with Bilstein 5100s front and rear.

The Golf R springs with Bilstein B6 dampers did moderately lower the wagon's body roll and, paradoxically, not really negatively affect ride quality from what I can tell.

Pros: lower body roll

Cons: turn in isn't as sharp

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 53000 km

My 2014 Rav 4 Limited has 222,000 miles on it. Needs new shocks to the tune of $2000.00 but that’s to be expected. Absolutely no regrets.

Pros: expected lifespan

Cons: needs replacement

Vehicle: Toyota

Mileage: 357240 km

I run Bilstein B4s in my project Rabbit. The car rides and handles great now. I drove it to work not long after getting it back together, and it was a very smooth, quiet ride.

Pros: smooth, quiet ride
