I have received a few PM's regarding these dampers.

These are not the entry level dampers (which are the bilstein HD which are essentially replacement shocks for the stock suspension) these are bilsteins short body body dampers engineered specifically for lowered springs.

If you run the HD shocks with lowered springs, they are essentially mismatched (shock valving isnt suited for the firmer springs rates of the lowered springs) and what this results in is a poor ride and most likely premature failure of the damper as it will be constantly bottoming out on the bump stops..

So in a nutshell these B8's are at HD prices and are perfect for lowered springs, and maintains a oem type ride yet transforms the handling and steering response without having to worry about the issues associated with some coilovers (adjusting ride height/damper settings, noises induced via pillowball mounts etc)
