Please do a search. Not trying to be harsh, but this is covered all day, about everyday. Bilstein's are not meant for lowering springs. If you want to use them that's your call, but it's not correct IMHO. I sell HD's for $329/set and we offer a number of other options as well (that are more suitable for lowering springs).
