Thanks for the info, this is really good to know as I'm not too sure how my stock bumps will look when i swap in Bilsteins.

Btw let me know how you find the B8's with lowering springs

Probably all crumbled and broken into pieces like mine

To answer everyones question about the Bilstein B8's on lowering springs, I only had them on for a week and put about 300 miles on them but so far they have been quite impressive. They are much firmer than stock but still quite comfortable for daily driving. Only time the ride gets harsh is over really broken up and bumpy roads. At low speed you can feel the bumps on the road more but at higher speeds it feels smooth. Cornering is much better, can take corners at faster speeds and stays flat. Feels stable over bumps. I feel very confident with this setup vs the stock shocks. Very happy with the B8's so far as I was a bit afraid it might be too stiff for daily driving. I am more of a "comfort-sport" type than a "street/track" type and these fit my needs quite well.
