I have OEM GTI fronts / Golf R rear springs, and Bilstein B6 rear shocks. I love this setup, it has a rear bias so it turns nicely, still comfortable, vastly better than the oem setup. A full GTI setup works well IF you use with those B6 rear shocks, otherwise the damping feels too light.

Pros: turns nicely, still comfortable
Part number: B6

I put 75000 hard miles on my 5100/FJ spring combo. Started with sand dunes in North Carolina and the rest was terrible northern and coastal Maine roads, mixed dirt/unmaintained/pavement. They're getting soft now, but I'll do it again. They still look pretty decent after a couple of harsh winters too.

Pros: decent after harsh winters
Cons: getting soft now
Mileage: 120700 km

I've had the chance to daily Billstein shocks w/Eibach springs...with stock shocks w/HR drop springs...The Bill and KW setups had/have Meyle HD front bushings and R32 control arm bushings.

Pros: sportier road-holding feel
Cons: car crashed on bumps
Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado

I have had Bilstein HDs on my GLS for a couple years now and I also think they are too soft. Still too much body sway and roll, especially loaded for a trip, in my opinion.

Cons: too soft, too much body sway and roll
Vehicle: Volkswagen
