struts/shocks

200,000km and it's time for new front struts and rear shocks...what upgrades are available? anything?

PIU shocks/struts are a good choice IMHO. Last I checked, they came down in price. On my second set of PIU rears and think would recommend them. Seems even vendors say Bilstein has no immediate plans for a set.

are they stiffer or what are the advantages of PIUs over stock STs?

It's still highly debated whether PIU struts/shocks are actually stiffer but I don't think it hurts to go with them. No other performance shocks or struts for our cars are available unfortunately.

I installed PIU rear shocks in my '21 Platinum. They are not noticeable stiffer and they don't leak like the original oem shocks.
I would say they improved the ride.

Comparing new oem to new PIU would be the way to do check. My old shocks leaked (at 29K miles) and I could push the piston in easily by hand after removed. Not so with the new PIU shocks. Of course it rode much better with the new shocks...
