belstein 4600's are a great stock replacement, they came factory on the fx4 level 2's.
Pros: great stock replacement
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
Bilstein B14 (non-adjustable) or Bilstein B16 (damping adjustable, rebound + compression together IIRC) are also decent choices, and I believe there are versions that will fit both FWD and AWD GSWs. My Alltrack on B14s appears below. I have them set within 1/2\" of the top of their adjustment because the tires are 245s and I don't want too much rubbing. The can go at least 1.25\" lower.
Pros: decent choices
Cons: rubbing possible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Ha, I have those front shocks / springs from VW Parts Place on my pickup, and I like them a lot more than the H&R / Boge Turbo Gas shocks that came on my GTI.
Pros: like them a lot
Cons: too much spring
So far it rides really smooth, much better than the OEM suspension that has most likely been.
Pros: rides really smooth

I’ve been running them for 2 weeks so far on my Mk6, the ride reminds me of my dads Porsche: sporty and mildly stiff but not bone rattling. They say it’s equivalent to the Koni Sport (yellow) on the softest setting. And that’s good bc you won’t need anything stiffer and you’ll never have to adjust/test/adjust with them.
Pros: sporty, mildly stiff, not bone rattling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I tend to like KYB, as I like a stiffer ride/steering. I replaced all the shocks and struts on my wife's car and my car in 2019. We've been happy with the performance.
Pros: stiffer ride, happy with performance
The Bilstein B8's they have should be solid and properly valaved to the OE WRX spring rates. Bilstein makes good stuff.
Pros: solid, good stuff
Vehicle:
Subaru
I'm running KYB shocks right now (not yet lowered) and it's a pretty reasonable ride
Pros: reasonable ride
Vehicle:
Nissan
I had koni yellows on my CRX. Replaced them with coilovers and regretted it.
Cons: regretted the change
Vehicle:
Honda
