For shocks, Bilstein 5100s are pretty much the go-to mid-range shock. A little more expensive than twin tube, but 1/3 the price of stepping up to the next best set, and also long-term streetable unlike Fox, King, or Radflos that require frequent rebuilds.
I think I've got the B6 on my 9-3, might be the B8 I can't remember, whichever one is "street" option for slightly lowered cars not the racing shocks and they ride great! They're bit harsh on rough roads but they perform so good everywhere else. Absolutely transforms the cars handling
Had the Bilstein B8 with H&R springs for some 5K Km during 2 summers and then threw the B8 out for KONI yellow adjustables.
Can only recommend ????
i just did b4s all corners. feels great. i dont want to pay more for a harsher ride
bilstein 5100s. i installed them myself on the 2016 i owned at the time, made a huge difference in the way the truck handled
I put 5100s on the back yesterday and it already feels a lot better - firmer, more controlled going over angled dips in the road (think of railway crossings or water bars etc), and I am surprised at the reduction in roll / wallow.
I also love my bilstiens, mine are definitely more stiff for daily driving, but I prefer mine off road.
H&R sport springs 40mm, Bilstein B8s.
The Bilstein 6112 shocks I installed up front were slightly stiff, which I attribute to their valving.
All these shocks like Bilsteins, OME, etc are firmer than OEM, no matter what they say. They will limit lean more than OEM, but they will not be more comfortable overall than a set of new OEM shocks.
