Default Bilstein B8 Damptronic

Has anyone put Bilstein B8 Damptronic shocks on their car? I don't recall seeing these before, I think Bilstein just recently developed these shocks for the 997. They are PASM compatible shocks (they also come in non-PASM too) for lowered cars, you need lowering springs like H&R or Eibach to go with them. These may be a good option for those of us who do not need the height adjustability of the B16 Damptronic coilovers. Less than 1/2 of the price too.

If you have these on your car, what are your thoughts?

not sure why would anybody want to pay for those as you can ship stock PASM shocks to be re-valved for stiffer springs and they will work just fine after that, if to replace springs was the goal.
there are sets of Eibach springs for sale one can use on any PASM car to lower it to proper level.

As I understand, these are shorter shocks designed for lowering springs. Stock PASM shocks can bottom out with lowering springs.

If you want to retain PASM get the B16 Damptronic...they are height adjustable and better overall components.
