Bilstein B6 monotube shocks work only with stock ride height springs. With a chassis as light as the IS300, they’ll give you a much stiffer ride than the other options. Some drivers like it; but you may worsen traction on roads in poor condition. Comfort will similarly degrade. Their main advantages are that they won’t fade in prolonged aggressive driving and they last a long time.

Pros: won't fade, last long

Cons: stiffer ride, worsen traction, degrade comfort

Vehicle: Lexus
