Reason I ask is there is not much information on this topic other than one video from a guy in Poland I think who mentions his EDC dampers being calibrated to his new lower springs (F30 BMW I think).

Need to be careful lowering xDrives because of the front axel, mine is a F30 335d xDrive and I'd like to pair it with the B6 Damptronics and Eibach springs in the future when I have the money to burn!
My understanding of Bilstein product line is B6 is meant to be run with stock springs whereas B8 are designed to run with lowering springs.

B6 and B8 are identical performance wise but the B8 has different dimensions to accommodate a lower height spring.
