Snacktime's 5100 Bilstein Shocks review & takeaways

[Snacktime]

This is awesome. Thanks for the info! So to sum it up:

You got the B8 5100 shocks only? you're still on stock springs?
Did you need to get bigger tires? looks like 35s in the picture.

thinking of doing the same as Im currently on 33s, with no lift or suspension upgrade.

I have since moved up to 4wp Coilovers as I keep changing things. The 5100s are a huge improvement and the Coilovers are about the same improvement over again. To be honest the 5100s are stiffer but really enjoyable for on road driving (if you don't mind a more truck like ride). The coilovers brought back some body lean and nose dive.

Here's 5100s with position 5 (highest lift), no spacer. Personally i love the ride and firmness vs Hitachi. Im sure i will change down the road but for $550, the value can't be beat.

are you utilizing position 5 on both front and rear?
