I have the B6s on my 18 XT. They are stiffer than original shocks, but certainly not overly so. They should have been stock, as far as I am concerned.

Pros: stiffer than original
Cons: stiffer than original

I went the 5160/6112 route and love them. Coming from stock suspension for the first 50k it was amazing offroad but really helped with the on-road nosedive and with upgrade springs in the rear helped tremendously with the sag from my rtt trailer.

Pros: amazing offroad, helped nosedive
Mileage: 50000 km

I’ll at least give them points for wanting to use top quality components. Bilstein are nothing short of the best when it comes to shock absorbers.

Pros: top quality components

Those appear to be Bilstein B6 or B8 shocks. They're Bilstein's sportier upgrade over the OEM replacement B4 shocks. The difference between the B6 and the B8 is that one of them is made for lowering springs and the other is designed for stock height. Because these are just struts and not coilovers, the ride height is not adjustable.

Pros: sportier upgrade
Cons: not adjustable ride height
Vehicle: BMW

Bilsteins obviously are great. My friend put Bilsteins on his and it's a bit stiff for a daily driver without a lift, imo, but you might not have the same problem or might not care as much lol

Pros: great
Cons: bit stiff

Bilstein 5100 are trash unless you're just doing pavement princess driving. Teeth shattering stiffness. I hate them.

Cons: Teeth shattering stiffness
