NYCSterling, suggest you review Gregory891's earlier posts, and search for his posts on other threads. I believe he's the poster most on top of the suspension rehab issue. Personally, I plan on doing the B4 struts/shocks after I've completed more immediate repairs - replacing the thrust/control arms to fix the failing bushings with Meyle HD and doing the ball joints, etc. along the way. That said, I'm tempted to spend the extra $200 or so and go to the B6 HD blue/yellow Bilsteins, which made a huge difference on my old Ford Superduty trucks. I'm just a bit concerned they will be too stiff on this much lighter vehicle.
