I thought you were ditchin that bish in January?
Remember, Ben, springs determine ride height NOT shocks. 
The Bilsteins are only grooved in front so the rear (which seems to sit lower) is not at all adjustable.

the springs from tallest to shortest are
Eibach
H&R
Neuspeed Sport
Neuspeed Race
Greg had a few problems with the H&R. It seems that they don't make different components for the 3.0 and 1.8T (when they should).

If you like the ride, I'd stick with the NS sports.
Note that the ride will become a bit firmer with the Bilstein sports. Make sure you get new OEM sport bump stops if you don't already have them.

yup, I've already installed the bump stops....
my car just bounces like crazy... i think my dad was sold on getting new shocks for the car after taking one spin in it
it's not so bad with the 16s on, but with the 18s... it's bad
