I would consider these over the Bilstein's for your application. The shortened shock body, to get back some suspension travel, is really what you need (the 16 way adjustment does not hurt either)

You have to get an alignment anytime you change the suspension.

The extra $500 is worth it after you get sick of riding on the bump stops and skipping the back end through corners due to lack of suspension travel.

If the front wheels were a bit cleaner a couple of those shots would be wallpaper material...

I've got mine lowered all the way on stock bolts... I've gotta look into your setup. The stance on yours is nailed!

Are you sure it's Okay to completely remove the front bolts? Then I'd guess C6 rear bolts??
