Bilstein Left, Airlift right for MK6. Like I said before, they both have the same drop on my car. I just gained about 3 inches of lift with the Bilstein's, thus making my ride height WAY more comfortable.
Pros: comfortable ride height
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
The Aero springs lowered my Arc about 0.5"F/0.6"R on the Bilstein HD's. The Aero springs, Bilstein HD's, and uprated Moog front swaybar end links made a huge difference on my car.
Pros: huge difference
Vehicle:
Saab
Front bilstein inserts and H&R springs, upper and lower bar, New front oem upper strut bearings, new oem ball joints and tie rod ends, front torsion bar poly urethane inserts, non power steering rack with poly urethane inserts
Pros: new oem ball joints
Vehicle:

Mine is stock height on the rear with Bilstein HDs for a Volvo 240. perfect match to stock shock length.
Pros: perfect match
Vehicle:
Volvo
The PSS10 actually do OK on the track. They soak up high speed bumps nicely. I have front and rear H&R bars, so even though there is some roll, it is less than say, SHS. It is around town where this combo feels harsh to me.
Pros: soak up high speed bumps
Cons: harsh around town
Vehicle:
Audi A3
Today it took me a very long time to install the rear bilsteins. I kept thinking I was missing nuts and washers.

For shocks, I would use the Bilstein sports instead of HD's if you plan to use lowering springs. (R32 fronts and Jetta rears)
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I have had this setup for a few months now, but figured I should post up on the Vortex so people can see it. Ground Control Coilover Conversion kit 400/300 spring rates mated to Bilstein Sport front (insert) and rear.
