Default The bilstein sport shocks are made to go with springs that lower the car...
They are an inch shorter than stock shocks. You really should put some shorter springs on with them.

Default There are 2 types of Bilstein shocks! ;O)
"HD" Heavy Duty which a designed for OEM springs.

"Sport" which are 1" shorter, designed for use with aftermarket lowering springs. ;O)

How much stiffer is a Bilstein Sport Shock / H and R Sport spring setup then stock.

What would give a better ride quality - OE Sport Springs or Coil-Overs?

What would be a conservative ride height drop from sport springs and shocks?
