Shock absorbers Bilstein or KONI

On my 2019 GSW 4 Motion, I’m running Golf R springs F & R, Golf R RSB, and B4. With Continental Extreme DWS on 18” wheels, the ride, turn-in, and overall handling are very reminiscent of my Gen VI GTI.

After a few hundred miles, these Bilstein 5100s feel night and day better than the old Dobinsons. I know it's not apples to apples, since the Ds were bottom of the line and 5100s are presumably mid, but they control the body roll and bounce much better. The old ones were pretty stiff unless fully loaded, but these Bilstein are pleasant when empty and supportive when loaded, can't wait to upgrade the fronts!

Definitely go B6. B4 is basically stock. B6 is performance improvement but like, balanced. OEM+ performance improvement while retaining comfort.

Get bilstein B4 OE shocks. Decent price and will ride like stock.

Koni yellows. I have run them on my GLI and currently my MkVI GTI and they are great with lowering springs.

I like my Bilstien B8's, made for lowered cars.

I put Bilstein b6 on mine but you’d have to probably do the front too if not going with OEM stuff. I also put 034 mounts which are fine on the front but I’m about to go back to stock on the back due to noise.

my e91 has bilstein B6 with stock springs and it rides great.

It's ok, feels kinda soft when you hit the brakes and such.

B4s are garbage don’t listen. Mine blew in about 2 years.
