[s-cars] Bilstein HD's

[LL - NY]

Be careful running sports on an unlowered car. When I bought my S6, the PO
installed sports but kept the ride height stock. Since I anticipated
lowering it, I thought fine

Anyway, I was driving on an unfamiliar road a bit quickly when an unexpected
whoop-de-do caused by poor maintenance (not marked either) allowed my
suspension to go just about full droop topping the unexpected crest. Since
Sports are shorter than HD's, guess what? I topped out the shock.
A few days later, the front right sprung a leak. Before I could even order
that replacement, the other front sprung a leak. The rears were fine.

Moral of the story. Use the right shocks for the right springs.
