Shock absorbers Bilstein or Rancho

I went with B6 rear shocks and slightly bigger RSB. Was super happy with the balance until I added air bags (Air Lift) in the rear. They are great when the car is loaded with camping gear & bikes (prevents sagging but), but when empty, the handling is pretty unbalanced between front and rear (even when AirLift bags are at their minimum PSI).

I believe Bilstein has a B4 version that will fit front and back and also a B6 rear inset. Probably the best option for OP. Rebound damping on stock shocks is the biggest issue.

Took a few trips to the dealer but finally got it sorted under warranty. First they changed the rear end links. Then replaced the front shocks, bearings, mounts, and end links. OEM shocks failed on Boston roads at 25-30k miles. If you are out of warranty, consider replacing with Bilsteins.

New Bilstein Rear Shocks

Love the B8s! Great combo with the lowering springs

If you can swing it, you're better off with new springs and shocks (Old Man Emu kit, or OME springs with Bilstein 5100 shocks), even if you have to save up.

If you're in the market, I highly suggest Bilstein 5100s. I have them on my 1st Gen and love em.

Just replaced my rear magnetic shocks with bilstein b4. They're very soft. Great for a daily.

In my experience, Bilsteins are too stiff for the NB, they kept my car up and got like 1in drop with H&R springs.

The original shocks were completely shot so I replaced them with Bilstein B6 shocks. The ride feels incredibly stiff on most roads.
