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 fitted my 2020 Jimny with Koni Heavy Track shock absorbers from OzJimny. This mod has substantially reduced body roll on corners, it's tighter onroad and less susceptible to wind on the highway.
I’m running Koni Yellow SA with H&R Sport Springs + E90 drop hats.
Running Ronal LS wheels (15x7.5) with a 5mm spacer in front and 12.5mm spacers out back. Rear fenders are rolled because it rubbed with the spacers.
I love this setup personally - relatively low but still functional and comfortable..ish
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.
After two failed sets of FSDs I'm sure and hope these new active series address the QC issues that the FSDs had on occasion. Loved them before they started leaking at around 40K
I have had Bilstein HDs on my GLS for a couple years now and I also think they are too soft. Still too much body sway and roll, especially loaded for a trip, in my opinion.
