Yes. Get a set of spacers from Scott, you may well need them.

I sincerely doubt that Bilstein manufactures avant specific sport shocks.
After all, *only* the combination of Bilstein/Eibach/avant requires the
different spacing. How many cars in the world would that be, maybe 50? 100?

The car should set absolutely level front to rear. Take measurements from
the hub center to fender lip...the front and rear measurements should be
almost identical. If not, put the spacers on.
