So I just picked up some Racingline lowering springs used for cheap. I can't wait to get rid of those nasty wheel gaps. I was going to install them on my stock shocks and struts and do the DCC recalibration via OBD11. I'm considering replacing the shocks on my car since it has 75k miles on it now. The stock suspension feels great. I don't think there is anything wrong with it but it is getting up there in miles. Plus I would hate to go through the trouble of removing the front suspension multiple times.
I found two options other than OEM. The Bilstein B4 and the B6 for cars with DCC. Is it worth it to upgrade to the B6 even though it's a bit more stiff? I'm hoping to keep the same comfort level as the OEM shocks but I know stiffer is better for cornering. By the way, I mostly ride around in comfort mode or sport mode. Sport mode can be rough on crappy roads and I would hate driving my car if it was like that all the time.
