I love my Bilstein TC Sport shocks. They are better than what even brand new mustangs have on them... Anyways the shocks and good springs will make your Jetta handle better than almost all the cars on the road and when on freeways or highways you will not even notice that your going 40% faster than you thought.

Pros: better handling, comfortable ride

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

The PSS10 actually do OK on the track. They soak up high speed bumps nicely. I have front and rear H&R bars, so even though there is some roll, it is less than say, SHS. It is around town where this combo feels harsh to me.

Pros: soak up high speed bumps
Cons: harsh around town
Vehicle: Audi A3
