Hi gang, I am in the market for replacing the stock shocks due to their age and condition. I do AutoX the car, and in order to stay in the class I am at now, I am not able to use adjustable, and I need to remove at stock ride height with stock springs.

I have seen many folks run the B8 with stock springs, but I was worried about too much preload because of the shorter damper. I know I could just go B6 and call it a day, but eventually I may look to get springs, which is why I was looking at the B8s.

Has anyone run the B8s with stock springs? Any known issues at all?
