I've had a set of B6 installed in April and the ride improved a lot. Am on 20mm lowering springs but I gained about 1-1.5'' in height on the front suspension due to the B6 being longer than the stock struts. Thinking about 30mm springs now.

I gained 1.5 inch on the front also looks like shit this is with eibach lowering springs. I don't know what to do cause i seen a few cars on here that have this combo and aren't near as high in the front as mine same parts????

The B6 damper is a high nitrogen gas pressure monotube damper which creates a lifting force due to the pressure acting on the valve stack assembly. High gas pressure is required in monotube dampers to prevent cavitation in the hydraulic fluid and, thus, minimizing damper performance loss and/or characteristics.
