Strut assembly KYB or Bilstein

My 2012 had about 95k miles on it when I replaced the struts this past December. I went with Bilstein B6s and have been happy with them.

I’ve had good luck with KYB.

When I replaced the struts on my C30 I went with KYB and so far they're performing great

Got b4 struts for my e92 with sport suspension back in may-june from them. Holding up good, no issues. Had the rear shocks done a couple months before and bought locally but theyre holding up good too, also b4's.

Then pair them with some Bilstein B4 struts. I have the B4s on my 2008 SE 2.5 and they're fantastic, especially for the price.

I have the KYB with Eibach springs on my GS400. The ride is smooth & controlled

Guess I lucked out when I ordered my B6's (talked to the company first and knew they were 4 days out)

So I have the Bilsteins with Eibach springs. City driving sucks a big one. Just too stiff to give in the pot hole heaven, train track crossing, city. On a nice surface they are excellent performers. Really shined on the tail of the dragon.

I put KYB on my 2010 and it road very harsh. Then I put the on my 2016 still harsh but a bit better

In 2018 I installed Bilstein B8 struts/shocks with vogtland springs on my '13. Within the past 2 years, I've started to notice a knocking sound in the front, usually at low speeds and generally when I have passengers, but not all the time.
