Default whos got bilstein shocks? how do you like them?

So i just bought bilsteins shocks B46-1413-H0 for the reads and B46-1412 in the front

whos running on these shocks? my shocks werent bad but along with the new tires and brakes and everything i wanted to buy shocks now so i got bilsteins and im hoping that im satisfied with them.

in terms of overall performance of them how are they? i know a lot of you guys are firm bilstein believers so did i make the right choice?

is there a drop in ride height with these shocks? im not buying them for a lower height but if it drops a bit i would b happier with my purchase although im very happy already

Gonna get me some bilsteins for my envoy soon. Dunno how they are but we will see. as far as ride height shocks do not affect ride height the springs do.

I had bilstiens on my truck before I upgraded my shocks. They were actually better than my rough countries. I may be getting longer bilstiens in the future

I've had Bilsteins since I bought the truck new (came stock). 190K+ miles later and they are still doing just fine.

I plan to get Bilsteins eventually, my brothers have them on their toyota trucks and are very happy with them. They all agree they improve cornering and offroad ride.
