I changed from stock shocks to the Bilsteins.
I noticed a lot of difference right away. I did a trail the day before I changed them and the wife wished she wore a sports bra. I did the same trail after I changed out the shocks big difference the wife then realized it was worth it and not a waste of money. As for highway difference they really smoothed out the road. If I had to do it again I would.
