I can still rip sweepers at 120mph like my friend with Bilstein B6's, but my car rides so much better over the small uneven bits of pavement.
Just put on a new set of Bilstein 4600's and am liking it. Feels stock and back to new again. Not too stiff, but certainly not squishy like the old worn ones.
I just did Bilsteins on my 2500 burb. They work great.
Yes B4's should help.
Drader has swapped for B6s in the rear of his Alltrack so has 1st hand experience with it's effects.
I went with B6 rear shocks and slightly bigger RSB. Was super happy with the balance until I added air bags (Air Lift) in the rear. They are great when the car is loaded with camping gear & bikes (prevents sagging but), but when empty, the handling is pretty unbalanced between front and rear (even when AirLift bags are at their minimum PSI).
I believe Bilstein has a B4 version that will fit front and back and also a B6 rear inset. Probably the best option for OP. Rebound damping on stock shocks is the biggest issue.
Took a few trips to the dealer but finally got it sorted under warranty. First they changed the rear end links. Then replaced the front shocks, bearings, mounts, and end links. OEM shocks failed on Boston roads at 25-30k miles. If you are out of warranty, consider replacing with Bilsteins.
I responded to a few Bilstein HD threads when I had my EVC, recommending against them. They were just too damn firm. Now I have an EV Weekender with Bilstein HDs (installed by PO) and they are almost just right (could be a tad firmer). I can't explain it. Did Bilstein change their valving at some point in time?
I've put the Bilstien HDs on several Weekenders and think they are too soft IMO.
