Shock absorbers Bilstein or Sachs

I have 5100s on my Tacoma and they made a great replacement to my OEM shocks. Kept it at factory height. Less nose dive when braking makes all the difference to me.

Eu tenho um Audi A4 B8 SLine, comprei dois amortecedores na Audi originais SACHS foram €180 os dois!!!

I just put new bilsteins on at 100k. So far so good.

I replaced mine around 130k on my 2015 with a pair of Bilstein 5100s, I would have done it way sooner if I knew how much of a difference it would make.

you can always put bilsteins on yourself (not too hard, put the 5100s and lift spacers/ blocks ((if off-roading, do not use front spacers, you will get coil bucket contact and a proper lift may be more expensive but its better on your performance and ball joints, i am mostly highway / town travel)) and it was done within a weekend with rental tools from the auto store).

I made my own poor man's B12 kit! Except mine is now complete with badged housings and early top mounts. No bump stops in the front and vestigial foam stops in the back. I went mild on the cutting. The rears could go up a lot or down a little without cutting. Excited to see how she sits. Took some before measurements for what it's worth.

It is quite a hassle to change the fronts (the rear shocks however are a joke to change) so I would personally just go with the OEM = Sachs--as I did two months ago--if you can afford it and/or save up for it.

Update, went with the Comfort (B4)s... and they feel great. Comfy.

cuando compré mi 330i tenía el amortiguador trasero del lado del conductor cagado. Más allá de que acá te matan con el precio de cazoletas y amortiguadores (hablamos de OE, o sea Sachs, etc.) no se consiguen los guardapolvos ni los topes superiores.

I have a 2020 BRZ with SACHS performance shock absorbers. I’ve been having a rough ride. Subaru service center said the front struts are weak
