Shocks/struts

02 Base model, what would happen with sport shocks on the front and bilstien b8 on the rear with eibach springs? thanks

Since the Eibach springs will lower the car, the slightly shorter B8s are surely indicated. Why not use Bilsteins all the way around? (Konis are on my shelf, waiting for warmer weather.)

Because using the Bilsteins on the front will mean I have to use the H & R springs, Right?

Use of a shock brand doesn't require a particular spring brand. Unless you have in mind a 'competition mostly' scenario, it would seem to me that lowering would be counter-productive. Or perhaps I simply don't understand what you have in mind. Euro-level dampers are a rather mild upgrade, to be sure.

I was looking for a shock up grade to go with the eibach springs I just got and with factory rear sport shocks NLA I was trying to figure things out.

The factory shocks work well with Eibach springs. The only down side that I found is extra wear on the upper ball joints.

Alright and thanks for that tip. I'm sure I'll be happy with them.
