5th Gen Limited - Replace XREAS with Bilstein 4600 or 5100

Hello,
Anyone out there with actual/first-hand experience who replaced X-REAS with Bilstein 4600s on a 5th Gen Limited? If so, how does the ride/handling compare such as stiffness on-road, nose dive on breaking, etc.?
Thanks in advance!

I can't speak for Bilsteins, but I was going to start a thread about my recent experience of installing KYB coilovers and G shocks on a 15 Limited. However, since I just joined the forum, it won't let me start a new thread without some replies. Maybe this response will help me.

Mine is a 4th gen and I went with 4600s and new FJ springs. I liked it, it was firmer than stock and felt very stable, however, the Bils are a little harsh, so after a few years I have installed the Dobinson IMS, they are less harsh and still provide great feel ... no nose dive with either. On the Bils, the 5100s give you a better way to level it up if you desire by using the spring perch clips, whereas with the 4600s you would need a 1/2 or1" spacer, I tried both and preferred the 1/2".
