Are these the right shocks to get if I wanna put on lowering springs? Good price?

Avoid bilsteins, way overdamped even for stiffer springs.

I like the Bilsteins over the H&amp;Rs I used to have (on an A6). BD thinks the opposite.

Default I had Bilsteins (w H&R springs) on my CQ and it was a dinosaur!
I'd like the appeal and adjustability of the Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, but I'm leaning toward the less-expensive Eibach Pro spring/damper kit...either way, I'm sick of driving a boat! :P

The rears are much worse than the front for some reason.

Default Does this apply to the PSS9 coilover package with adjustable damping?
Does the PSS9 have a damping setting that isn't to overdamped? I would hope the damping range spans all people's tastes. Any feedback on PSS9 would be nice since I just bought a set!
