Stock springs with Bilstein TC = "Most Comfortable" Everything else is a compromise between looks, comfort and handling.
Pros: most comfortable
Cons: compromise comfort, handling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
The Bilstein sports are a good choice for a cupkit. I think the ones I have are Bilstein HD. They came off my old vr gti. So far Im happy with them
Pros: happy with them

I finally got a chance to install the new Bilstein sport shocks today, despite the rain. I can't give a full review of them because it was rainy and wet today. But, they are significantly stiffer.
Pros: significantly stiffer
Has 3.5L head conversion - same as period Alpina B9. 5-speed, LSD, Bilsteins and Recaro interior all from factory. Great fun to drive. Very reliable - and even economical.
Pros: great fun to drive

I installed a complete set of Bilstien HD shocks on my EV this weekend. All I can say is wow, they transformed the ride! The old OEM shocks were shot, all four had zero rebound.
Pros: transformed the ride
Cons: old shocks were shot
When I first got my caddy I lifted it with cabriolet springs and bilstein hd shocks... With 17" wheels I had over 12" of clearance
Pros: over 12" of clearance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Caddy
As you all can see, the dyno showed how the TC Sport are (as also advertised) pretty close to stock, if we look at the compression. The rebound is quiet more than stock thought. But from the graphs is pretty clear that the TC is not any near the advertised 10 or 20% stiffer than stock
Pros: rebound more than stock
Cons: not 10-20% stiffer
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
My car is out of alignment too (neuspeed sport springs/bilstein shocks/17" rims). From what I am told, after having the car aligned 3 times, the only way I can get it back into alignment is to reinstall the stock springs / shocks.
