:cry: I tried searching, but Bilsteins are new to S13s in America. So I just ordered a set of Bilstein B6 HDs ,and some Eibach Sportslines to go with, knowing that Bilstein recommends only a 30mm drop, and the Sportslines drop it around 52mm. Bilstein stated that there is a chance that the spring may be too short, and may slip out while driving. Keep in mind that I run canyons occasionally and try to slide a little when it rains, which is sort of rare in California. What do you guys recommend I should do? Do you think it's safe to run, or should I send them in to shorten the Pistons? How do you guys think the ride will be?

If Bilstein can't give you a straight answer, I'm not sure I'd want to purchase the parts from them. They should be able to tell you all the possible negatives of running that shorter spring. I can't imagine you'd be so short that you'd slip out while driving (come off its perch).
