As an FYI, my car is lowered on VWR (almost twice the drop of driver gear) and has Bilstein B8 shocks as well, no other mods aside from the. I had zero problems with a Hunter drive-on alignment rack, and my tech was able to set the alignment to proper spec w/o issue. Car drives great.

Pros: Car drives great

Bilsteins - I have experience with since they were on my 2005 GLI from the factory and I loved how they handled. You could take that car into 45 mph corners at 60 and not a bit of sway or worry.

Pros: loved how they handled

Finally got around to replacing the original worn out shocks. They had 83k miles and 13 years on them! I decided to go with the Bilstein HDs. In my opinion the ride is nearly perfect now. Virtually no bounce or see-sawing when going over speed humps.

Pros: nearly perfect ride
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 133577 km

Sounds like you would be most happy with Bilstein Comfort/Touring shocks (B4). The Bilstein Sport and HD shocks will provide a much stiffer ride. Having tried the Bilstein HDs, I really didn't care for them at all on my W126. The Bilstein Comfort shocks still improved the handling immensely over the original circa 1987 front shocks on my 560SEL.

Pros: improved handling
Cons: stiffer ride
