From what I've read, Ohlins Track & Road seem to offer the best compromise between handling and comfort.

I've had Billie B12s & B14s on other VWs and whilst I love their inverted monotube for damping consistency, I find them too harsh for the roads where I live.  Much better the faster you go mind, but at urban speeds, way too crashy.  Having said that, suspension is very subjective.  One man's harsh is another man's soggy mattress.

KW V3' s for ride comfort and excellent damping adjustment and control for road. That and Ohlins..

Bigger budget I know but I've tried others and many are very crashy and lack the quality ride KW give you that's why they are priced at £1480.

KW Clubsports even more costly but utterly brilliant

Ride quality costs I'm afraid

Why not go H&R springs and B8 dampers? Good cheaper compromise

Would you say V3s over V1s as I assume you can dial in a more compliant ride with the V3s, whereas the fixed rate V1s are stuck on a firmer setting by default?

I'm a fan of KW. Probably going to go for some coilovers in the future but I really want to find the comfiest option.
