B6 is perfect imo for a sporty street driving car. I had a 320i where the stock shocks were terrible, and switched to stock springs + B6. The ride immediately improved and it wasn't stiff at all. You do feel a bit more of the ground but it's a lot less crashy when bad pavement exists.

Pros: ride immediately improved
Vehicle: BMW

I fitted my 2020 Jimny with Koni Heavy Track shock absorbers from OzJimny. This mod has substantially reduced body roll on corners, it's tighter onroad and less susceptible to wind on the highway.

Pros: reduced body roll, tighter onroad
Cons: not cheap
Vehicle: Suzuki Jimny

I’m running Koni Yellow SA with H&R Sport Springs + E90 drop hats.

Running Ronal LS wheels (15x7.5) with a 5mm spacer in front and 12.5mm spacers out back. Rear fenders are rolled because it rubbed with the spacers.

I love this setup personally - relatively low but still functional and comfortable..ish

Pros: functional and comfortable
Cons: rubbed with spacers
Vehicle: BMW

Yes - they are different form the regular golf wagon. 55mm (AT) knuckle vs 50 (golf). definitely go with Alltrack-specific Bilstein B4 or B6 (not just OE replacement).

Pros: Alltrack-specific
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I ran the MK6 Bilstein B8 set with Eibach Sportline springs on my MKV and loved the setup. Worked great on street and even did quite well on track. I am an older guy (less tolerant of a rough ride) and they were great.

Pros: worked great on street

After two failed sets of FSDs I'm sure and hope these new active series address the QC issues that the FSDs had on occasion. Loved them before they started leaking at around 40K

Pros: loved them before leaking
Cons: started leaking at 40K
Mileage: 40000 km

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
