I just installed on my MY17 Sport... Bilstein B8 set w/H&R sport springs. Fitted with VW oem strut mounts and bearings. Also added a H&R 26mm rear sway bar w/ VW oem end links. I must tell you that the ride is just ever so.... on a scale of 1 to 10 and 1 is stock GTI, it's now a 3. I actually love the ride now more than what it was. The wallow cornering is gone and the braking is straight and true. No more brake dive during hard stops.
All I got with my Bilstein TC Sport shocks which are amazing btw were the nut and washer to actually bolt them in. I thought my bushings were shot but they were actually fine and I ended up not using most of the suspension install kit I got from kermatdi.
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
Today it took me a very long time to install the rear bilsteins. I kept thinking I was missing nuts and washers.
I hated the Bilstein HD's on my '97 EVC. The ride was way too harsh and jarring.
