To my mind you'd have to go for coilovers if you want a matched performance set on the car but it sounds like you want to keep things fairly normal.
When I fitted my B4's the front end height rose slightly (maybe 5-8mm) which I was happy about as it made the car look factory-fresh. It also showed me how knackered the standard dampers were before replacement.
The B4's make the car feel great, slightly 'stiffer' ride but in a good way and really planted at speed.

Thanks for that. Yeah I don't want a lowered or stiff experience. I want the car to be comfortable. I'm pretty sure all the shocks and springs are original having done about 147k miles so hopefully I'll see a big improvement.
