Front Shocks getting tired

[REVHE4D]

I am at the 132000 km mark 2011 T5 Duel Cab. I think my front shocks are getting tired, I am noticing it over speed humps. My rears are good I managed to snag a new set of upgraded gvm Vw Springs and shocks for my rear, they made a world of differance. What do you guys recommend? I want to keep the standard height, are Bilsteins the best?

Yeah I can not lower mine, I also to with it, and use it for work. Would I do Ok with the B6s or are they overboard for what I need? Or should I go the B5s.
I do want to improve the driving, but dont also want to feel every bump in the road.

Well it was around 4 plus years ago I did our van as I ordered the kit from the UK much cheaper than local supply . It is similar to this one as they have upgraded the kits since then VW T5 T5GP Bilstein B14 Coilover Suspension Kit For T32 1BH Chassis 47-222564 (http://www.t4srus.co.uk/vw-t5t5gp-bilstein-b14-coilover-suspension-kit-for-t32-1bh-chassis-47-222564-4107-p.asp) We have never had a bottom out situation even fully loaded with trailer 3 MX bikes and bucket loads of camping and riding gear and 3 passengers on board . Only the slightest bit of stiffer ride than standard but its hard to pick . http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2016/11/IMG_7116_zps27b8c173-1.jpg (http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/sunny435700/media/IMG_7116_zps27b8c173.jpg.html)

Mine is a work van and it often bottoms out as I carry over 600kgs right on the back...............and that is after putting in 'heavy duty' shocks in the rear! (from the UK, of course)

I have the Vw Heavy duty springs and shocks on the rear of mine. I purchased them of trakka who was selling a set off ebay for $60. Then I payed $120 for install at pedders. It made the world of differance to mine while retaining the standard ride height. Mine is used for work as well. I just need to replace the fronts now.
