[QUOTE="bimmerholic, post: 404680, member: 16686"] As a matter of fact, both my front abs are shot! I'm running on original BOGE with stock springs. Therefore now that the abs are shot, my front end have dipped so badly that only 2 fingers of wheel arch clearance. Running on 225/55/16 tires. The back abs are fine and the clearance is 3 fingers. My intention is to maintain this 2 fingers gap when i replace my shocks. If i were to replace to new original BOGE, i'll end up having 4 fingers clearance in front and it'll look real odd from the sides. Having said that, these are the following options that i can think of to maintain the said 2 fingers arch gap: 1) Replace front shocks to original BOGE or SACHS and pair it with H&R/Eibach springs 2) Replace front shocks to Bilstein B8 (short stroke) and pair it with my stock springs 3) Replace front shocks to Bilstein B6 (normal stroke) and pair it with H&R/Eibach springs (are these 2 springs are of the same height?) And i believe B8 is monotube while B6 is twintube...correct me if i'm wrong. thanks. Feedbacks please....thanks. [/QUOTE]
