i have dms springs with the rear spring cushion removed. i also have bilstein shocks, and i've had this combo for about 5 years now. i will tell you though, after 5 years the ride has gotten very rough. the shocks have probably worn only because dms is a progressive spring and those are better served with adjustable shocks. i have even popped a couple of tires on what would otherwise seem like insignificant bumps in the road. i don't particularly think i would do this same combination again if i could do it over, although i will say the look is one of the best out there. progressive springs in general are a bit funky though. an upside is that the dms springs have not sagged at all in the time i have had them, which seems to be a relatively common problem in eibachs and others.

I'm pretty sure my eibach sportlines are a progressive rate spring.
