Hi! Sorry for bumping up an old thread. I just have a bit of problem in choosing replacement shocks for my car.

I have VW GTI 1.8T 2003 which is fully stock and used for daily driving. I need to replace the shocks and decided to go with Bilstein. Since my car has the factory stock spring, I'm not sure what to choose from. What is the best option between the B6 (HD) and the Sport B8 (SP)? Can someone give me the comparison?

It depends on the roads you use if there flat and smooth put bilstein gas on if there not go for the original oils...
