Knowing what I do now about how lazy Bilstein is with their lack of chassis/model specific tuning it's an easy pass for me.
Additionally, I don't like how Bilstein picks their spring rates, which aren't tuned for a smooth ride.
As far as damping goes, I think these F3x damptronics could be interesting because they're a twin-tube design. That means they shouldn't have as high of a gas pressure, and also likely won't have as high low-speed compression damping as Bilstein's typical monotube shocks (both good things), but will they have enough low-speed compression to control body motions appropriately, which lots of twin tubes struggle with (like the OE adaptives)?
For the price, I won't miss not getting the B6 or B16 damptronics over my bespoke setup.
