For the actual shocks, I used BILSTEIN. B6 in the rear, B8 in the front. LOVE THEM. Drive an X6 though, stiff at first but after a work in really smooth.

Pros: smooth ride, loved them
Cons: stiff at first
Vehicle: BMW X6

I have regular Bilstein HD shocks at stock height. Also downsized the front anti roll bar from 28mm to 24mm. It rides really nice.

Pros: rides really nice

Don’t cheap out on the shocks. I had ranchos then I got bilstein 5100s and it was night and day. I have no problem driving it 700 miles round trip to Moab and back.

Pros: night and day difference

I have the B6s on my 18 XT. They are stiffer than original shocks, but certainly not overly so. They should have been stock, as far as I am concerned.

Pros: stiffer than original
Cons: stiffer than original

I replaced everything on my front suspension at 150,000. Went with Bilstein B4s, but I wasn't super happy with them when they were new. They're well-damped, but ride on the stiff side.

Pros: well-damped
Cons: ride on the stiff side, not super happy
Mileage: 150000 km

I put Bilstein on and although I loved the way it handled at speed, it was otherwise a disaster, way too stiff and raised the ride height, considerably due to the fact that they were dimensionally incorrect.

Pros: handled well at speed
Cons: too stiff, raised ride height, dimensionally incorrect
