Bilstein dampers good for 986 Boxster S?

I rebuilt my entire suspension with stock parts & Bilstein struts & shocks. Ride & handling is like new.

I just replaced the struts on my '00. It's not an "S" but came with the Sport Package that included 18" wheels and sport suspension. I went with the B6's. I've only had the car for a short time and the old struts were totally worn so I don't have a fair comparison. The ride is sooooooo much better, but difficult to compare to B4's. I will say that over rough roads as the speed increases it's silky smooth and controlled.

I'm not sure that someone wouldn't say the same about new B4's.
