I also did the b6’s paired with eibach pro kit, big difference!!
Pros: big difference

Bilstein shocks and lowering springs, you retain a more comfortable ride whilst getting better handling and making the car a bit lower
Pros: comfortable ride, better handling

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

I’ve been running them for 2 weeks so far on my Mk6, the ride reminds me of my dads Porsche: sporty and mildly stiff but not bone rattling. They say it’s equivalent to the Koni Sport (yellow) on the softest setting. And that’s good bc you won’t need anything stiffer and you’ll never have to adjust/test/adjust with them.
Pros: sporty, mildly stiff, not bone rattling

My plan is to get the Eibach Pro-Kit with Bilstein B8 shocks/struts for my 2017 Golf Sportwagen. It's a decent amount of lowering 1.4" front and 1.2" rear. A lot of great reviews here and elsewhere on this combination.
Pros: great reviews, decent lowering

That's great but remember that they are very firm for their intended us by designe. B4 is already 10% firmer than stock and has proper rebound damping.
Pros: proper rebound damping
Cons: very firm by design

I tried this as one of four combinations of suspension on my 2015 GSW TDI. The B8's and Eibach Pro combo lowered my car about 1 1/2 \" front and rear. The handling was awesome but a bid too firm for the bad roads in my town...I'm getting soft in my old age. I loved the way the car looked.
Pros: awesome handling, good look
Cons: too firm for bad roads
Just passed the 1,000 mile mark on these and thought I'd share my thoughts on this innovative shock from Koni. Marketed as a "jack-of-all-trades" sport shock with bypass valves for a smooth ride over harsh roads and flatter cornering. Initially, the ride felt slightly firmer than stock, but over time, I noticed it's smoother over bumps and rough jolts. The car feels like a more premium German Sports Car. Big jolts are ironed out noticeably, making it smoother than stock, even if not softer. Slight waves are more noticeable as they don't activate bypass valves. Koni's add stability, preventing the car from being upset by mid-corner bumps. Overall rating on KONI's: 8.5/10. They are somewhat firmer but handle rough roads better and ride "richer" and more premium overall.
Pros: smoother over bumps, improved stability, premium feel
Cons: slightly firmer than stock, subtle waves noticeable

I installed Bilstein B16 DCC shocks/springs. Frankly I hate them. They are not tuned to the chassis well so makes the car pitch over bumps and creak/groan badly
Cons: pitch over bumps, creak/groan
