Which shocks with H&R springs - S3

[lincoln_dj]

Hi all, as title really. Happy with ride height on H&R springs on my 3-door '57 S3 but want to sort the bouncyness out, my shocks are probably original 9 year old ones. Should I stick with H&R shocks or go for the oft-recommended Bilstein B8's?
Any other decent options?

Cheers

B8's .

As above, Bilstein B8's but you will need to get the fronts shortened.

Thanks for the info. What's involved in shortening the shocks? Is it just a mechanical adjustment on the shock?

It's an internal change that Bilstein would need to carry out on the dampers.

thanks. just had a quick look at where to buy them larkspeed's page says the shortened dampers are suitable for 40mm or lower, the H&R springs are only a 25mm drop. are they still the right dampers to be ordering?
