He went with Bilstein shocks/struts (TC) and MK3 VR6 Neuspeed SofSport springs. About 1 finger of wheel gap all the way around on 15" Steelies with 205/50's. Looks pretty good.
Pros: looks pretty good
Vehicle:

I like the ride of Bilstein HDs on stock springs. They're stiffer, but in no way uncomfortable.
Pros: stiffer ride, not uncomfortable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B5
I have the FSDs in my Passat, and they are truly phenomenal if you want an improvement in both daily driving capability, great turn-in, and less roll and movement through the turns in a daily driver on challenging roads and challenging road surfaces.
Pros: great turn-in, less roll
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I have the FSDs on my Passat and love them. Gives much better turn-in (and a more neutral and composed behavior in curves) - something the TDI lacks because the front springs and sway bar are much more modest than in the GTI.
Pros: better turn-in, composed behavior
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
In my Passat, I found that by just going with the Koni FSD shocks, I got much more neutral handling and better cornering turn-in.
Pros: more neutral handling, better turn-in
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I've had Bilstein Sports in the front and Bilstein HD in the back on my B4 PASSAT WAGON. Th eride was way too firm.
Cons: ride was too firm
