Default Bilstein shocks

I've searched already but could not find any more info about the Bilstein shocks.
A few people here do recommend them. But why?
Also which ones do fit the SC300? The Bilstein homepage wasn't a big help.
This is the product range:

B6 Sport
B8 Sprint
B12 BTK
B14 PSS
B16 PSS9

If I'm going for the Bilstein shocks, what about the springs?


Anyone?

Bilstein does not make shocks for the sc300/soarers. The only way you can use Bilstein shocks are ones from a 93-98 Toyota Supra which are the 'HD' model. Keep in mind that if you want to use the shocks, springs from the Supra have to be used as well.
