Finished the install today. Everything is perfect. Eibach prokit + koni Str.t shocks = perfection for NJ roads under $600. 26" ftg all around and ride is a great middle ground between coilovers and stock suspension. Rides like a stock gti. Which is exactly what I wanted. No floatiness, but you don't lose your fillings going over bumps. Very controlled and balanced ride. This is a fantastic pairing and you will not be disappointed.
Pros: controlled and balanced ride
Cons: none
Vehicle:

Original owner of a 2005 Reflex Silver 5MT 4Motion GLS wagon. Currently with 108,xxx miles. It has all options available for that year plus now with several mods incl: Votex ground effects kit and W8 rear bumper (painted to match) H&R lowering springs and Koni shocks Revo ECM flash (pushing about 21 psi boost)
Pros: several mods, pushing 21 psi
Vehicle:

The last GTI I drove was my 337 with coil overs. But I would never do anything that harsh again on a DD. The MS3 has been highly regarded for its handling since day one (although I can safely say the 1st gen shocks were poor - I just had Koni FSDs put in and it's night and day).
Pros: night and day
Cons: 1st gen shocks were poor

Ok, got the front Koni Yellow's on and have driven on them maybe 20mi set on minimum setting and car road very nice not really any difference from the 180K H&R's I took off other than I did notice improvement when worn rears were replaced.
Pros: road very nice, improvement noticed
Cons: not really any difference
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 321869 km
I then went with WRD sport springs and Koni ST.R shocks/struts with a eibach 25mm rear sway bar. It was much softer and I enjoyed it but it has more body roll than I want and the Koni's seem to be too soft for what I want, so I am going to change it again.
Pros: much softer, I enjoyed it
Cons: more body roll, too soft
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
i have the double bellow bags and koni oranges which tend to be a lot cheaper than the yellows becuase they do not have adjustable dampening. they give me plenty of height in the rear.
Pros: plenty of height
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I just got some and they are amazing (not to mention cheap)!!
Pros: amazing, cheap
At 100,000km I did Koni STR.T shocks, Eibach springs and a Progress rear sway bar. It's a riot to drive with decent tires now however I'm not overly impressed with the Konis, they don't have the best small-bump feel but the car feels ridiculously planted 100% of the time and stays flat through corners.
Pros: car feels ridiculously planted
Cons: not the best small-bump
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 100000 km
I put Koni yellows and Mazdaspeed springs on my wife's MX-5 two summers ago and we both love it.
Pros: we both love it
Vehicle:
