Both are quite good and we have experience with both. The drawback to the ohlins is the softer rates don't work super well with the limited travel. The drawback to the Bilsteins is the progressive rear spring isn't ideal for everyone.

Again both are really good shocks for a fun street car. They have limitations like most other things but do a good job overall.

*If you had to choose, which one would you be looking at? The fit and forget B16 or Ohlins with uprated springs to ... lbs/Kg?

*If you had a GT86 for occasional fun driving/European road trips 95%, 5% track days.
