I ran 5100's f/r for awhile before installing a 2" lift. They rode great. They still ride great with the lift springs I installed later to accompany them. They feel like the "Sport" setting in the AHC switch would've felt like if you had good stock shocks. They're not spine compressing stiff in the slightest.

Pros: rode great, not stiff
Vehicle: Lexus

I had Bilstein B8s with Neuspeed Sport springs and the damping is way better, and adjustable with clicks at the base of the shocks, with B16s even though the spring rates are significantly higher. B8/NSS were bouncy in comparison over expansion joints, etc.

Pros: damping is way better
Cons: bouncy in comparison

Get factory msport springs and Bilstein B6s and roll on. The springs will give the car a slightly more aggressive look than base E91 hight while still giving each corner plenty of travel. The B6s will give you a tight, yet smooth ride.

Pros: tight, smooth ride
Vehicle: BMW

Service writer gave me a ticket for Bilstein front and rear shocks on a 17 tundra, had to rebuild the front struts with the new set. I assumed it was the oem replacement... There's a small snap ring on the shaft of the shock that adjusts the spring seat (also the spring seat in this picture is installed upside down, something I too figured out the hard way).

Cons: spring seat upside down
