Bilstein 4600 at a minimum. Quality shocks make too big of a difference, you definitely get what you pay for.

The combo 6112/5100s ride much better than stock, although it was a bit firm to start.
I have 6112/5160. Rides well. Quite firm at first but that may have been new springs breaking in.
I had 6112s on my 3rd gen 4R and it drove awesome and felt planted (for a lifted truck). When I bought my 470 it came with 5100s already installed. It feels comparatively tippy/sloppy.
I have 6112 up front with 5100s for the rear. I have upgraded the springs that net me ~.5” lift after adding the RTT, etc. rides great - highly recommend.
They are excellent. Firm (supposedly 10% greater than stock), but still provide suspension articulation. The car felt very planted on hairpin and carousel turns encountered on a recent mountain drive.
I just got four replacement bilstein b4s for my 2015 Golf from rock auto they were $301 shipped. Sure they aren’t the cheapest but it’s still reasonable and you get a lifetime warranty.
I put a set of of monroe oe spectrum for my wife's tahoe 6 months ago and replaced them again yesterday with some billstein 4600s. It's worth spending the extra money on them.
The Bilstein 6112 shocks I installed up front were slightly stiff, which I attribute to their valving.
My bilstein 4600s lasted 50k miles and are blown.
