Best Shock absorbers for Volkswagen Golf
Koni yellows. I have run them on my GLI and currently my MkVI GTI and they are great with lowering springs.
Pros: great with lowering springs

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.
Pros: fine on the front
Cons: noise on the back

I've got the B6 DCC on my 19 Golf R. Overall I really like this upgrade. I will say that I don't think the Bilsteins made a world of difference compared to the OEM shocks/struts, but the springs seem to have the car more settled and less frantic and ready to bounce off the road over every little bump.
Pros: car more settled
Cons: slight rear rub

I strongly recommend you also consider changing the shocks/struts out for Koni Special Actives. They are better than OE in every single way - performance and comfort.
Pros: better performance, better comfort

My DCC struts and shocks blew out and I was about to bite the bullet and order isweep cancellers along with a set of bilstien b8s. You just saved me $500 and a lot of headache from a less than ideal delete.
Pros: saved money, avoided headache

I'm on H&R Sport springs and B8s on my 4Mo GSW - great setup.
Pros: great setup

I had GR-2s on an old Mk3 Golf. They were fine.
Pros: They were fine

I can relate. My B16's made strange noises from day 1. Then after a few months one of the rears collapsed. I gave up and just put the original stock shocks/springs back on.
Cons: strange noises, rear collapsed
