Bilstein B4

That's the replacement everyone here goes with right? For oem feel/stock suspension. Sounds like B6 is firmer.

I ordered the Bilstein B4 from FCPEuro before knowing that it is way cheaper from Rockauto. My consolation is getting a $40 discount from my complete order from FCPEuro.

I run Koni FSDs and they are way more civilized than the rock-hard OEMs that came with my car.
