B6 is perfect imo for a sporty street driving car. I had a 320i where the stock shocks were terrible, and switched to stock springs + B6. The ride immediately improved and it wasn't stiff at all. You do feel a bit more of the ground but it's a lot less crashy when bad pavement exists.
I have 6112/5160 with icon leafs and UCAs, love it. Really transforms the truck.
Yes - they are different form the regular golf wagon. 55mm (AT) knuckle vs 50 (golf). definitely go with Alltrack-specific Bilstein B4 or B6 (not just OE replacement).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Just go with Bilsteins.
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.
