There must be a million posts that recommend Bilstein shocks. They are awesome shocks and they are guaranteed for life. Bilstein has comforts, heavy duty, and sport shocks. It sounds like you would be happiest with the comforts. They are like the OEM. The heavy duty shocks will firm up the ride and may improve the handling. The sports are for a lowered ride height and they are firm like the heavy duty shocks.

You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.
