I read this response in one of the threads and it applies to my situation. I'm really interested in the part that I have highlighted. Can anyone explain how this can be done?
I am have Bilstein touring shocks/struts with Eibach lowering and love it. It gives me the aggressive stance and better handling without losing comfort. When I first installed the Eibach lowering springs, I put in Bilstein Sports. They were way too stiff and were bottoming out over bumps and pot holes. I thought I was going to lose some dental work and damage my car it was so bad. I later learned that you can open up the sports and cut the internal bump stop down to half the height in order to reduce the bottoming out. But, by the time I learned about it, I had already replaced the sports with touring and had sold the sports. I am very happy with the comfort AND handling.
