JagX02, the Bilstiens are the factory shocks, just with a different name on the sticker. So, yes, a lot of people go with them (and for the fact that they are one of 2 companies that makes shocks for our cars). I would second looking at eshocks.com. They have treated a lot of us right.

Since I am going with the lowering springs I am assuming I have to get the shocks with the sport suspension or i can get the standard and still use the H&R lowering springs

JagX02, yes, it would be the better way to go. But, the standard shocks will also work. Just don't adjust your bump stops. Doing so can lead to some really nasty things happening.
