I ran the MK6 Bilstein B8 set with Eibach Sportline springs on my MKV and loved the setup. Worked great on street and even did quite well on track. I am an older guy (less tolerant of a rough ride) and they were great.
I went with nice, inexpensive low-pressure KYB shocks and they're about right for my use.
Go with Bilstein 4600 like others said, 5100 is too stiff unless you are more loaded down
If it is a true FX4 (later models), it already had some of the best shock absorbers to begin with - Bilstein.
Koni shocks did the trick on my old Civic (not the same generation as yours), along with disconnecting the sway bars. Left the shocks on full soft with stock springs.
On my 2007 GTI when my stock shocks went I paired the Eibach springs I had used with the stock shocks with a set of Bilstein B6's and it was literally perfection.
He helped me rebuild the car using new and authentic German parts—the brakes, the shock absorbers, wiring harness, etc.
How do those ride compared to stock? I just got bilstein 6112s put on mine with SPC uppers and it rides way better than stock even around town.
After two failed sets of FSDs I'm sure and hope these new active series address the QC issues that the FSDs had on occasion. Loved them before they started leaking at around 40K
