You call them Bilstein B6 - are these the same as the Bilstein HD (heavy-duty)? I'm pretty sure these are the only full struts that Bilstein makes for the MkII MR2, but I just wanted to verify.
Also, according to Bilstein, their HD struts are not designed for lowered cars. I called Bilstein USA today and the woman who answered the phone said it's ok as long as the car is dropped less than an inch, and I haven't modified the bumpstops. The Eibach springs are exactly a 1.0" drop, so I'm a little concerned. Can anyone tell me if this is okay, or if I need to pay Bilstein $75 per strut to revalve them? I would rather get their "Sport" struts but they don't make those for the MR2 apparently.
thanks

All I can say is that I had the Tein S-Tech springs (40mm drop) on for a year and have had the Eibachs on for nearly another year(25mm drop) without any issues at all, no oil leaks from the dampers etc.
