How is the ride with the B8s and H&Rs?
I replied to your post in the other thread :lolol:

But it is really good as far as I'm concerned. One thing I think Bilsteins do really well is complete lack of wallowing or bounciness. You feel bumps with the setup but they are over quickly and drama free if that makes sense. It's compliant but sporty.
I think I may just get a set of B6's at the next set of tires and be done.

This is the Fiesta setup. The B6’s are wonderful and allegedly having the same damping characteristics as the 8’s. Compliant with good high speed damping (rounds off the corners of sharp bumps). They’re perfect for improving handling without compromising ride quality. The the Fiesta’s case, ride quality is improved vs. OEM suspension.

Thanks for the input. If I lower it somebody will just rip off the front bumper on a parking stop.

Fair warning, my B6's were on backorder for over 400 days. I hope you have better luck!
