Has anyone tried this on the b16’s, if so, how has it affected the coilovers? Don’t want to compromise performance for a slightly more aggressive stance.
I may have misread your OP. You want to use the B16 Damptronic dampers with H&R lowering springs? If this is what you’re asking then, no, this doesn’t work. The H&R lowering springs are designed to fit the oem lower spring seat and the oem top hat (upper strut mount). The B16 lower spring mount is considerably smaller in diameter than the oem strut lower spring seat so the H&R spring lower diameter will be too large for the Bilstein lower spring seat. However, what I discussed above, was the B16 dampers and springs being used and they match up really well with your lowering goals.
