Bilsteins obviously are great. My friend put Bilsteins on his and it's a bit stiff for a daily driver without a lift, imo, but you might not have the same problem or might not care as much lol
Pros: great
Cons: bit stiff
I have 5100s with 2.25" of lift and I've lost 2" of downtravel
Pros: lift with 5100s
Cons: lost downtravel
i have a small lift, dont offroad, and commute 70 highway miles a day. i run bilstein 4600s and love them.
Pros: love them

Amateurs. I run Bilstein B8's with H&R OE sport springs + 034 solid RSB. About an inch drop with much better damping. I personally still drive it like I stole it with a grin the whole time.
Pros: much better damping
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
On my 2019 GSW 4 Motion, I’m running Golf R springs F & R, Golf R RSB, and B4. With Continental Extreme DWS on 18” wheels, the ride, turn-in, and overall handling are very reminiscent of my Gen VI GTI.
Pros: reminiscent of Gen VI GTI
Vehicle:

After a few hundred miles, these Bilstein 5100s feel night and day better than the old Dobinsons. I know it's not apples to apples, since the Ds were bottom of the line and 5100s are presumably mid, but they control the body roll and bounce much better. The old ones were pretty stiff unless fully loaded, but these Bilstein are pleasant when empty and supportive when loaded, can't wait to upgrade the fronts!
Pros: control body roll, pleasant when empty
Cons: old ones were stiff
Definitely go B6. B4 is basically stock. B6 is performance improvement but like, balanced. OEM+ performance improvement while retaining comfort.
Pros: performance improvement, balanced, comfort
Get bilstein B4 OE shocks. Decent price and will ride like stock.
Pros: decent price, rides like stock
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I like my Bilstien B8's, made for lowered cars.
Pros: made for lowered cars
