I know there are a bunch of threads on here regarding VWR springs, and most people retain their stock shocks/struts. However, there isn't much information about what aftermarket shocks/struts pair well with these springs. Considering the majority of MK7 owners have gone with these springs, if they've lowered their car, I'd like to condense all the aftermarket shock/strut pairings into one thread. Hopefully, this helps someone out and we can get a good amount of feedback!

Koni Yellows would pair well
Is that what you're running? No offense, but I'm trying to have people post real experience with VWR springs and aftermarket shock/strut pairings. There aren't that many options to begin with, but maybe we can get a few people that have tried a couple.
Bilstein B8s
Bilstein Sports
Koni FSD
Koni Yellows
Here was some pretty indepth discussion on B8's and a lot of talk about B8 + vwr http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31154

Not now
But I had Koni Yellows with Eibach Sportlines (much more aggressive spring than VWR) on my MK6 ....and it rode like a dream
If Yellows can handle those springs......VWR should be no problem
breaking badly

fixed that for you

And what he means is friends don't let friends buy FSDs. Unless you don't care about handling, then it could be an interesting shock to try.
I'll repeat what I believe to be true about Str.Ts as well, that they are valved similar/equal to Koni Sports/Yellows at their lowest setting. Used them on my last car and they were a great budget shock.
