If you can swing it, you're better off with new springs and shocks (Old Man Emu kit, or OME springs with Bilstein 5100 shocks), even if you have to save up.

Pros: better off with springs
Cons: restrict the travel

I have the B6's and Eibach Pro springs & they work great on my '16 R. They firm-up the ride and cure any lean. Overall, they are a little bit stiffer in all DCC settings.

Pros: firm-up the ride, cure lean
Cons: little bit stiffer

I do have B8's paired with H&R Supersport springs and H&R front and rear ARB's(rear set stiff and front to least stiff) on my MK5 GTI. Ride quality under normal daily driving is a bit harsher than stock...but when it is driven with demands for performance, it really comes into itself and gets more stable and reassuring at speeds over 140mph and when cornering.

Pros: more stable and reassuring
Cons: bit harsher than stock
Vehicle: Volkswagen

recently convinced a customer to go with bilstein on his suburban and he has been ecstatic. I only use that brand in my stuff for sure. Made my xj at 6.5 inch lift ride smooth as butter

Pros: smooth ride

I have the "new" GoWesty Bilstein Sport shock installed about a month ago. While they improved everything, I was still disappointed in the body roll.

Pros: improved everything
Cons: disappointed in body roll
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I had Bilstein HDs on my 2003 Weekender, but finally decided the ride was too rough for me and switched them out for regular Bilsteins.

Pros: Quietest and smoothest ride
Cons: ride was too rough
Mileage: 120000 km
