Some one already said it but I recently did koni yellows and HR OE sport springs for mine. On the koni "stock ride hight" setting it sits nice and is a very comfortable ride since the HR springs lower it to a classy level without bottoming out ever.
I did koni orange shocks with eibach pro springs - been dailying it for 5 or so years. It sits about 1in lower than stock.
I went with Koni Super active as an "upgrade" from oem and I'm very happy with those.
I have mildly upgraded shocks (koni active) but otherwise stock and the ride quality is pretty good
I've been running them on my MK6 for about 40K miles. I'll never go back to standard shocks and struts. The adaptive dampening is a huge benefit on freeway drives since the expansion joints are completely removed from the ride. They are solid and planted for everyday driving and I've never felt the car was unstable.
I'm running Koni special actives on stock springs with 17" tires. There are a few threads over at https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php where it's pretty much agreed that they are OEM+. I put them in about a year ago and they are still great.
I have them on my ‘15 and I really like them so far. I’ve done 11k miles since I put them on. They are stiffer than oem but they soften up nicely with large impacts.
I had Koni yellow with stock springs. Maybe a little better than the stock shocks but started leaking after a few years. Didn’t want to screw around with sending them back to Koni and waiting for their warranty.
I've been using the Koni Golds (FSD) for many thousands of miles. They are really really good at 80mph, but in town they shake my teeth loose and bump and klunk like crazy.
I have orange Koni’s with Vogtland springs they didn’t last 25k miles and now my front two fenders almost touch my tires and the rear are almost as close.
