Any pics after install? Would love to see how low the drop or lack of drop.

I'm also looking for a posts list needed for the conversion

I'm certainly impressed thus far. Ride height should be about perfect for me once settled. The dampers are top notch with a lifetime warranty. HD are certainly the way to go over the B6 when running shorter springs.

What are the part numbers on the Bilstein HDs that you used with the H&R springs?

did you need to get strut bearings for the shock mounts?



when you have some time, can you post up a parts list of everything you needed for the conversion?
