Im running Bilsteen HD on my Avant with all else stock.
HUGE improvement (but orig shocks were blown when I bought the car)
I can say it is plenty firm for my tastes and given the poor roads here
in Idaho I would not want it any firmer.  If you are planning on much
winter "snowplowing" I would consider the drawbacks of reduced ground
clearance with lower springs.  Its hard to get out and enjoy your AWD
when you are high centered in your driveway.......
