Valved about 10% firmer than stock, B4 OE Replacement Strut feature the same German engineering and quality as Bilstein's monotube gas pressure shocks, but in a competitively priced, twin-tube design.
Not recommended for use with lowering springs. Limited lifetime warranty is included."

I put those exact struts (front) on my '01, and they're great. But I only have little 19" wheels and a puny 3.0 engine.
But I also found that the originals I replaced (at almost 180k miles) were still good - there is a recent thread on that topic:
