Curious whether I should go with the Bilstein B4 touring struts or the Bilstein 4600’s. The 4600 appears to be the HD since it’s yellow/blue. I just want the car to remain like OE though and have no desire for “performance” on this one. Also got 2 new rear tires. Sticking with the Toyo Proxes ST2.

HD struts are a harsher ride than stock.
