All four corners, your thoughts.

 

Bilstein

 

Bilstein x2

 

Does anyone have actual reasons behind these recommendations?

A good recommendation really can't be given at all without some information about what you want from the car. It'd also be nice to know if you have stock springs and other suspension stuff.

 

They are both self adjusting; however Tokico's aren't as good with lowered vehicles or performance springs (Eibach, etc) as Bilstein's are. Too much bounce.

Bilstein's are stiffer so you will handle better in the corners, braking and accelerating.

Tokico is cheaper than Bilstein though.

It does come down to personal preference in the long run. Hope that helps.
