I think the billstein 5100 and 5150 are great. After the first set I bought, I've run nothing else.

Pros: are great

I'm not going to lie. Going from Monroe/stock height to a 3in lift with rough country shocks rides great on the street.

Pros: rides great on street

Bilstein 4600 for a stock road Jeep. Not quite as squishy as a nitro shock like OME, but a significant upgrade over stock in both comfort and control.

Pros: upgrade over stock

Cons: not as squishy

Vehicle: Jeep

I went with Blistens 6112s and 5161s and have been pleased. A nice compromise between price and ride quality.

Pros: nice ride quality

Cons: compromise on price

I currently run Bilsteins, but looking to change to BC Racing ones. Only cos the rear on the Bilsteins don't go low enough (3 finger gap at the lowest rear setting).

Cons: don't go low enough

Vehicle: Fiat 500
