Lots of choices these days. King is about a year out so………
There’s reasons for every setup. I’m happy with my Bilstein 6112 up front and 5160 rear on ome 2906. I wanted an OEM quality level, and these were the farthest I could go without shortening up long term durability. Would buy again for sure. The icon stage 5 interests me, but it’s a large jump in cost.
Real question is how much $ and how fancy you want to go. Digressive or progressive depending on which philosophy makes sense to you. Life cycle might matter to you. The custom ones tend to need more maintenance.
Lastly is availability. Some are over a year out right now. One other thing I noticed in my research, is that some of the custom options had less than desirable results with leaks and valving.
After listening to one of the Bilstein engineers on a podcast, I knew that I made the right choice as their philosophy lines up with mine. Premium products, lots of engineering and experience, and longevity. I’d be super unhappy if I spent 4-5$k and had to have a set of backups to send them in to the manufacturer or shop.
Good news is you have many options.
