I also love my bilstiens, mine are definitely more stiff for daily driving, but I prefer mine off road.
H&R sport springs 40mm, Bilstein B8s.
Yes it really is cheap but I really recommend slurging for the Bilstein oe replacement shocks.
I’ve been happy with the 6112/5160 bilstein combo. I just did it it at about the same mileage 245k. Rides smooth and absorbs bumps pretty well.
My factory shocks were all totally blown and I did replace those with Bilstein 5100. You lose the electronically adjustable shock valving by not replacing with factory but...meh.
I actually did Bilstein 5100 all the way around with .85” lift in front (to “level” out the rake) but kept my rear airbags and did a slight adjustment to the rear ride height sensors for the level. Mine rides great and I like that I still have the self leveling rear.
Koni makes excellent shocks. Bilstein is number one and has been in my 70 years on this planet. There’s just no substitute for a Bilstein.
They are a little stiffer than stock. I’ve had Bilsteins on a 4th Gen Camaro, an 2002 Grand Prix, and a 2007 GMC Envoy. They were stiffer and improved handling on all the vehicles they were put on. You won’t be disappointed with the 5100 if you are looking more a little more performance than stock.
Shock wise people say great things about bilstein 5100s, but I've got no experience with them.
I put the 5100 on my 15 Terrain, I don't like them much. I am mostly hwy driving. They're so stiff, you can feel every crack in the road. The nose dive at corners is gone, but very stiff.
