Due to timing, the Tein H.techs were put on first with stock shocks. Very recently this was followed by the addition of the Bilstein B8's.

Although the Tein H.tech's do work very well with stock shocks the B8's in combo work insanely better. Due to a nasty driveway at home, I couldn't go too low so I was always happy with the H.techs. As for measurements of the gap, totally stock was approx 5cm (2") and the final gap is a bit less the 2.4cm (< 1"). (It could still settle I guess; this was taken on day 1). I have included aligned photos of the stages to help others out. At this stage only have pics of the front, will get some full body pics soon.....

I have the Bilstein B8 with Eibach Pro kit. If you're using Tein H-techs, shouldn't you be using the B6 instead?

The B8 is a shortened shock for shorter springs. The H-tech is only 0.3" drop, could probably use the B6.

The Bilstein experts over had not had not much love with the B6's over in OZ. To the point where they hardly deal with them. Not sure if it was something specifically to do with the B6, our roads or other reason, but their experiences weren't favorable.

It's no biggy anyway, due to the drops involved there's considerable overlap in which shock is used. In any event, it performs brilliantly.
