I have a 1993 GL with Bilstein HDs. They are firm but I would not want them firmer. On a heavier VR6 camper I would think they'd be even more suitable for the job.
I have installed the shocks/springs for month and have decided to sell the vehicle due to new family member arriving soon. These transformed the car. Really nice set up. Smooth ride and handles really nice. Sticks to the highway very well.
I had FSD's with VWR springs on my 12 R and it was an excellent combination. Granted that was one of the worst riding cars I've ever owned stock, so the improvement was very noticeable. It handed better as well.
My Corrado has Koni yellow shocks at stock height and the rebound/stiffness is set right in the middle. It's a pain to adjust the rear stiffness, but somebody sells low profile knobs for them. The car is in storage so I don't remember if the rear spring perches are adjustable. I do remember that the car rides great and I can just adjust the stiffness in a few minutes (on the front anyway) if I want to corner flatter.
I bought a set of adjustable koni yellows with vogtland springs for my jetta for $40. No idea how old they are, but throw on the stiff setting and they rock corners pretty well.
Bilstein does make an easily-obtained, affordable, heavy-duty shock absorber (front and rear) that's a direct bolt-up option for these cars. It's what I swear by.
H&R OE Sports. Only lowered .75 inch (or so). I love my Koni Yellows.
I ended up doing neuspeed sport springs and bilsteins. I still need to do sway bars especially rear because it has the stock push to it. It handles great and comfortable.
He went with Bilstein shocks/struts (TC) and MK3 VR6 Neuspeed SofSport springs. About 1 finger of wheel gap all the way around on 15" Steelies with 205/50's. Looks pretty good.
i have PSS10. it is either too soft, or too harsh... i settled at F4/R2... i also have H&R f+rsb both at soft tho...
