Default Suspension Upgrade Question

Looking for input from those who have "been there done that"....

I have an '04 A4 Vert and will be replacing the wagon wheels Tuesday with the Z07 wheels and BFG g/force KDW2's. While I'm spending $ I figure I might as well upgrade the suspension, right?

The question is: Bilstein Sports or 2004 Z06 shocks? Any other suggestions?

Thanks

From what I've seen, conventional knowledge on this forum says that you can lower up to an inch with Bilsteins and not so with the '04 Z06s
