From what I have read, when the Bilstein TC's are installed, someone mentioned also intalling new springs as well.

Check out this post from Swedespeed:

**Kaizai 100% Correct. Did the swap myself. Just to let you know, there aren't many (if any) aftermarket shocks that are designed for Nivomat springs.
So you will most likely have to get 1. OEM/Boge Nivomat shocks or 2. Get Brand X performance Non-Nivomat shocks and New Springs.

If you're wondering what I have on my car now, they're Bilstein HD shocks/struts with H&R Sport Springs. The ride is MUUUUCH Better than factory sport suspension. Initially, I had no drop in suspension. Now that it's settled, the car sits about 1" lower (give or take). Additionally, there is no sag in the rear unless I absolutely load it with people and gear.
