Ride comfort with Bilstein shocks?

How's the ride comfort of Bilstein shocks compared to the stock shocks?

Ride and handling with those shocks on stock springs are both better than stock.

I haven't replaced the front ones yet, but I have put the rear ones on and as of now I have stock springs. Even though it was just the rear it seemed to "slightly" stiffen up the rear. As far as hitting bumps and what not it's a lot smoother than the stock shocks.

When I got mine installed, I also had it lowered and it rode as good as stock.

I replaced all 4 corners with Bilstein HD's and the initial thump of an imperfection in the road is stiffer, but the control of the ride is noticeably more controlled. It's perfectly acceptable for ride quality.
