Shock absorbers Bilstein or OLD MAN EMU

It’s firm but not rough and it handled wheeling around Southern Colorado and NW New Mexico just fine, even fully loaded. I’m beyond impressed considering the cost.

It's surprisingly nice. Somehow it feels as sporty as my Forester XT. Occasionally you get a bit of "float" at highway speeds where it feels like you're in a boat or a big old Buick, but it's not uncomfortable by any means. Like riding on a cloud!

I drive on paved roads 80% of the time, it’s very smooth. No complaints, great even on hard turns

I have Bilstein B8s on my lowered Alltrack and I love how they work w/ my springs. Very controlled over the very imperfect road surfaces of California. ha.

I replaced the Ranchos with Bilstein 5100's after a couple thousand miles, night and day difference.

I went with Bilstein B6/B8's and was pleased with them, but they provided a slightly firmed-up, well-controlled ride compared to my high-mileage OEM units

I have 6112 front 5100 rear and I cannot express the difference in ride quality and even “handling”. Totally eliminated understeer.

I did the Bilstein 5100s and very happy with the result. On a 5.3 truck, the 2" cir-clip setting put the truck pretty level. Rides so much better.

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.

I'd personally recommend sticking to OEM (probably Sachs or Boge). My Bilstein warranty return rate since 2016 is close to 100%. B4, B6, B14. All of them. Quality fell off a cliff.
