Default Just got my shocks, car going into shop tmrw morning!

I have a couple questions for you all:

On the rear Bilstein sport shocks, there is a dense foam piece that covers about 1/2 of the shaft that goes into the shock. (I'll post a picture tomorrow when I get to digi cam) Basically after compressing the shock about 1/2 way, it'll run into this thing and it's pretty stiff. Do they cut this off after install or something?

Anything in particular I should mention to the shop tomorrow morning. They come highly recomended, but I'm not sure how many A4's they've worked on before. Any "gotcha's" I should warn them about? Like what perch to set the rear shocks on or similar?

Thanks!

Default I just got the same shocks also

I think that part gets trimmed, depending on what car they are going on. I saw a table on a webpage (can't remember where) that tells how much to trim, didn't see the A4 on it though...not sure
