22. By what amount can the B8 sprint shock absorber lower the body?
By up to 60 mm. The best depth for the driving dynamics is, however, 40 to 50 mm. Beyond that handling performance deteriorates, unless the whole vehicle is revised.
23. By how much can I lower the body with the B6 Sports ( not the shortened version) using shorter springs?
By up to 20 mm. That's the typical body height drop offered for new cars ex factory. A shock absorber with shortened stroke is required when lowering by more than 20 mm. In this case, pre-tensioning of the spring which keeps the body away from the wheel under all driving conditions is maintained. Otherwise, the danger exists of the spring slipping out of the holder causing the car to suddenly becomes uncontrollable.
D'après ça on peu pensé que la tige des B8 est plus courte de 40mm.
Raccourcissement possible à la demande...

24. Can I have my shocks shortened?
Yes, of course - just call the BILSTEIN Shop on 02333-7914-457. They will look after all your requirements, and deal with the TÜV inspection, if necessary. The shop is able to shorten the shocks at a cost of 50 EURO each (status March 2001 ).
