Blitz springs & Bilstein shocks
I just changed my springs without changing my shocks. Come to find out bad idea the stock shocks are to long and bottoming out. Trying to save money has now cost me more money I have to pay twice for the same job. Anyways, I have Blitz springs with a 2 inch drop (which makes the car look awesome) I need to know if the Bilstein Sport shocks can handle a 2 inch drop without bottoming out? If not, what shocks would you suggest?
I will never cheap out on my car again!

Anyway, enough "we told you so" talk, the Bilsteins should be fine with the Blitz springs. You may want to ask Blitz what they recommend for their spring/shock combo just to be sure but Bilstein's should work. Good Luck! Remember....Ask questions here FIRST! No question is a dumb question on this forum because there are a lot of nice, helpful guys!

BTW I called L-Tuned today and the guy I talked to there said that the L-tuned shock CANNOT handle a 2 inch drop.
If anyone is interested in the L-Tuned Shocks I can get you a really good price on them.
