I'm getting some Eillbach springs and on my Celica when I lowered that, I put KYB shocks all round.

My mate with a heavily modified Cupra has said if i can get Bilstein shocks, go for them any day over KYBs.

I've finally found them at an affordable rate for my IS200, but can't decide over B4's for a bit cheaper or B6 which are still affordable.

For anyone who has experience of them, what are the differences and would I regret going for the cheaper B4 shocks?

have you ever used Bilstein in jap car?
i have b6 on rear of is200.the front are oem tokico.
i think that bilstein makes only b6 for is200.
b6 are very stiff and noisy over bumps.same with a civic with b6.
i 'd never install them again.very uncomfortable shock and makes the car looks like 4x4.
if you can go for tokico if not go for kyb.
b6+shocks have close price with koni or coils.i will go for coils.
hope i helped you.
if you have any other question ask

interesting as Bilsteins came standard on some Supra's and they are widely considered the best suspension setup available

Well am a bit gutted because the price was good but not good enough because it was for each shock, out of budget so gone with KYB Excel G shocks as they did me well enough on the Celica.

If I get back round to upgrading the suspension in the future I know I'll be going after the B6's, I know they're harder ride that the B4's now, but I love to feel the road.
