[s-cars] Bilstein Sports - do I need bump stops?

[Tony Curran]

David,

I believe the Advant required a different set of springs to the sedan.

As far as the rear spacers, I'm not sure why you say "for sedans only".  The
Avants are at least a couple of hundred pounds heavier in the rear.  I'm
using the HR V8 Sport springs with Bilstein Sports on my UrS6 Avant.  I
think it sits perfectly using the ECS "13mm" (really 10mm) spacers.  A sedan
probably would sit well with those springs and no spacers.  Eibachs might
sit lower, maybe 10mm spacers for a sedan, or 20mm for an Avant would be
good.

As others have said, and I noticed immediately, the Bilstein Sport damping
isn't quite up to the V8 springs.  I hope to get a revalve at some point,
but will probably wait until I have to do some other work on the car.

Russell,

To see ECS rear 13mm spacer. I used on my car and have an even drop in all
four corners. Other listers have described rear ends looking as there is a
dead body in the trunk because of lack of spacer rear end sag. This is for
sedans only.

I will confirm part numbers tonight when I'm at home PC.
