No change in ride height, as the springs basically determine ride height.

If running stock springs, you should get the B6 Bilstein HD.

hey Andrew,


maybe I should just be clear here, I currently have Tein S-tech lowering springs (green)


I really want to change my struts as it seems the front ones are bottoming out.


my car Is already low as it is, not sure I can handle having the car lowered anymore

You'll still bottom out with the B8s. Not much you can do with S-techs.
