If you want an OEM original ride you can probably stick with the springs you have and get some Bilstein B4 rear shocks and front cartridges. Any other way will be stiffer and lower. This will have it ride about like it did when new.

Pros: OEM original ride
Cons: stiffer and lower
Vehicle: Volkswagen

They're definitely a more budget friendly option so don't expect them to preform like fox or king shocks, for a daily you don't care too much about I'd run them, but for a truck you care about and want more performance out of I'd run Bilstein 4600's

Pros: budget friendly option
Cons: performance not top tier
Vehicle: Ford Ranger

I tried this as one of four combinations of suspension on my 2015 GSW TDI. The B8's and Eibach Pro combo lowered my car about 1 1/2 \" front and rear. The handling was awesome but a bid too firm for the bad roads in my town...I'm getting soft in my old age. I loved the way the car looked.

Pros: awesome handling, good look
Cons: too firm for bad roads
Mileage: 3800 km

The original shocks were completely shot so I replaced them with Bilstein B6 shocks. The ride feels incredibly stiff on most roads.

Cons: ride feels incredibly stiff

Bilstein 5100's have been the best shock I've ever used on a truck. I've had Fox shocks, even with remote reservoirs... and I'd still take the 5100's.

Pros: best shock ever used

I replaced all mine at 88k. A little bit before that (maybe around 85k), I started getting wheel hop with WOT in 1st and even a little in 2nd, with stock power. Bilstein B4s, and no more wheel hop :)

Pros: no more wheel hop
Cons: wheel hop with WOT
Mileage: 88000 km

I have the bilsteins with standard sport springs and hate them. They float normally & are overly harsh over bad surfaces.

Cons: float normally, overly harsh
Vehicle: BMW
