[s-cars] Bilstien Sport Shocks with 92 Springs, anyone using this setup?

[LL - NY]

Jamu,

If the ride height of the 92 springs is stock height for all of the springs,
then you need
to use Bilstein HD's. When I bought my UrS6, the PO had installed Bilstein
Sports with
stock S6 springs. I drove over a not visible "whoop de doo" at public road
speeds and
topped out the shocks. Two days later I had two leaking struts. Don't
believe that would've
happened if I had my Eibach's on the car or Bilstein HD's. So the overall
length of the shock body/shaft of the Sports must be shorter than HD's
contributing to the out of travel experience.

HTH,
