I love my Bilstein TC Sport shocks. They are better than what even brand new mustangs have on them... Anyways the shocks and good springs will make your Jetta handle better than almost all the cars on the road and when on freeways or highways you will not even notice that your going 40% faster than you thought.
Suspension was also changed from the cheap coilovers to bilsteins with eibach springs, ride is much better now.
But we also bled the brakes and I removed the extremely warped front lip with the useless fog light cutouts.
I plan the same, had Bilsteins on my Mazdaspeed3 and loved them. B6 are designed for stock ride height, sounds like that's what you're aiming for.
I have OEM GTI fronts / Golf R rear springs, and Bilstein B6 rear shocks. I love this setup, it has a rear bias so it turns nicely, still comfortable, vastly better than the oem setup. A full GTI setup works well IF you use with those B6 rear shocks, otherwise the damping feels too light.
My 2001 Mercedes CLK200 KOMPRESSOR with Bilstein shock absorbers, H&R lowering springs and Amg monoblocks
I put 75000 hard miles on my 5100/FJ spring combo. Started with sand dunes in North Carolina and the rest was terrible northern and coastal Maine roads, mixed dirt/unmaintained/pavement. They're getting soft now, but I'll do it again. They still look pretty decent after a couple of harsh winters too.
I had this debate and went Bilstein 5160s (the ones with the springs included) love them
Bilstein B4 OE Replacement FRONT (used 20xxx miles)- $75
I've had Bilstein Sports in the front and Bilstein HD in the back on my B4 PASSAT WAGON. Th eride was way too firm.
