Yes B4's should help.
Pros: should help
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Drader has swapped for B6s in the rear of his Alltrack so has 1st hand experience with it's effects.
Pros: 1st hand experience
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I went with B6 rear shocks and slightly bigger RSB. Was super happy with the balance until I added air bags (Air Lift) in the rear. They are great when the car is loaded with camping gear & bikes (prevents sagging but), but when empty, the handling is pretty unbalanced between front and rear (even when AirLift bags are at their minimum PSI).
Pros: happy with the balance
Cons: handling is unbalanced
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I believe Bilstein has a B4 version that will fit front and back and also a B6 rear inset. Probably the best option for OP. Rebound damping on stock shocks is the biggest issue.
Pros: best option for OP
Cons: rebound damping issue
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Took a few trips to the dealer but finally got it sorted under warranty. First they changed the rear end links. Then replaced the front shocks, bearings, mounts, and end links. OEM shocks failed on Boston roads at 25-30k miles. If you are out of warranty, consider replacing with Bilsteins.
Pros: professional service, car returned undamaged
Cons: forgot to plug dashcam

Mileage: 32187 km
New Bilstein Rear Shocks
Vehicle:
Audi TT
Love the B8s! Great combo with the lowering springs
Pros: great combo
I responded to a few Bilstein HD threads when I had my EVC, recommending against them. They were just too damn firm. Now I have an EV Weekender with Bilstein HDs (installed by PO) and they are almost just right (could be a tad firmer). I can't explain it. Did Bilstein change their valving at some point in time?
Pros: almost just right
Cons: too damn firm
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
The original shocks were completely shot so I replaced them with Bilstein B6 shocks. The ride feels incredibly stiff on most roads.
Cons: ride feels incredibly stiff
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
