I took the car to the mechanic, and he told me that my suspension set up is ok. Ball bearings, tie rods, bushes and mounting are pretty new.So just need to change the absorbers. Originally I wanted the Bilstein B4 (Black). But having tried a car with those, I found that they are too soft. It's almost like the setup I have (Saachs, not sure if that's the right spelling). So I'm thinking of going for the Bilstein Yellows. I'm not a racer and I won't take the car to track, neither will I push it to the limit (for now lol).I asked around and there's two Bilstein Yellows, the B6 and the B8. Both are the same price. They say that the B8 goes with sport (lowered springs) and the B6 is designed for stock springs.My question is:Can I put the B8 on with stock springs? Would there be any adverse effects? Like shortening the lifespan of the shocks?The reason is that if I get the B8, then I can slowly experiment with changing the springs, or keeping it with the stock springs if that's good enough for me. If I get the B6 and then find that it's not hard enough, I'm stuck and can't do anything about it anymore. Coz using B6 with sport springs will kill the B6.</p></blockquote><p></p>
