Love my Bilstein 5100s with my 4.5 inch lift. They have been on it for 5 years now and still do the job in ten sand dunes. No shock fade. Yes on road they are abrupt compared to your parts store junk like Monroe.

Pros: no shock fade
Cons: abrupt on road

The Golf R springs with Bilstein B6 dampers did moderately lower the wagon's body roll and, paradoxically, not really negatively affect ride quality from what I can tell.

Pros: lower body roll
Cons: turn in isn't as sharp
Mileage: 53000 km

I run Bilstein B4s in my project Rabbit. The car rides and handles great now. I drove it to work not long after getting it back together, and it was a very smooth, quiet ride.

Pros: smooth, quiet ride
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Bilstein B6 for stiffer suspension -- helped a ton with tire wear given our driving habits and locale. Much better ride in the twisties.

Pros: better ride, stiffer suspension
Vehicle: Mazda

Their hard parts like control arms and brackets are pretty good, but their soft parts like shocks and joints aren't very good. They tend to be clunky and not last very long.

Pros: control arms pretty good
Cons: shocks not very good
