I can still rip sweepers at 120mph like my friend with Bilstein B6's, but my car rides so much better over the small uneven bits of pavement.
Pros: better ride quality

Just put on a new set of Bilstein 4600's and am liking it. Feels stock and back to new again. Not too stiff, but certainly not squishy like the old worn ones.
Pros: Feels stock, back to new
Cons: Front install sucks

I am running Koni special active on my 2018 Alltrack, which is also riding on Golf R Estate springs. I like the ride, firm but not harsh. I had them installed after driving a friend's Alltrack that had the Koni special actives.
Pros: firm but not harsh

I just did Bilsteins on my 2500 burb. They work great.
Pros: work great
Yes B4's should help.
Pros: should help

Drader has swapped for B6s in the rear of his Alltrack so has 1st hand experience with it's effects.
Pros: 1st hand experience

I went with B6 rear shocks and slightly bigger RSB. Was super happy with the balance until I added air bags (Air Lift) in the rear. They are great when the car is loaded with camping gear & bikes (prevents sagging but), but when empty, the handling is pretty unbalanced between front and rear (even when AirLift bags are at their minimum PSI).
Pros: happy with the balance
Cons: handling is unbalanced
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I did Koni Yellows set to softest dampening and H&R Sport Springs. Amazing handling, nice comfy ride.... until the roads get rough and they do frequently in CT. Manhole covers which always seem to be a mile below the surface are horrible... yes I always try and avoid but sometimes you can't.
Pros: amazing handling, nice comfy ride
Cons: horrible on rough roads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Please note that all bushings etc are OEM Mercedes parts but the shock absorbers are pedders brand.

I'm using bilstein b4's and when I put it all back together I ended up with over a fist of tire to fender gap and am trying to figure out how to fix this. Previous ride height was like 2 or 3 fingers between the tire and arch.
Cons: excessive fender gap
