Shock absorbers Bilstein or Rough Country

I have 6112/5160. Rides well. Quite firm at first but that may have been new springs breaking in.

I had 6112s on my 3rd gen 4R and it drove awesome and felt planted (for a lifted truck). When I bought my 470 it came with 5100s already installed. It feels comparatively tippy/sloppy.

I have 6112 up front with 5100s for the rear. I have upgraded the springs that net me ~.5” lift after adding the RTT, etc. rides great - highly recommend.

I just got four replacement bilstein b4s for my 2015 Golf from rock auto they were $301 shipped. Sure they aren’t the cheapest but it’s still reasonable and you get a lifetime warranty.

I put a set of of monroe oe spectrum for my wife's tahoe 6 months ago and replaced them again yesterday with some billstein 4600s. It's worth spending the extra money on them.

Bilstein B8s

Prefer the bilstein of the oem kyb. I have the 4600 yellow and blue stock replacement for over ten years. They’re still going strong. The ride is less harsh and also more responsive.

My first impressions of the b6 with the stock springs was also, yes, this is oversprung. After 500 miles, I decided to try the DCC deflected wheels adaptation/update and can confirm it made a difference. Maybe placebo, as the ride height should be the same but it certainly felt less "springy" after. The comfort setting felt the most restored, which made me happy.

I put in 5100’s and wished I had spent the extra few hundred bucks for the 6112’s.

My E36 always sat higher after starting to use Bilstein shocks. Did NOT replace springs. B4 first and B6 after. Definitely over-damped, car almost disregards the springs and runs on shocks alone.
