Thumbs up GS 400 bilstein shock part number

im looking for a sporty shock replacement for my 98 gs 400... was going to get bilsteins

Part #s FRONT BE5-2802-H0 , REAR BE5-2803-H

for about 500 and install them myself...

any advice? are these the right part numbers? Should i get springs and do them at the same time.?.. more worried about a more aggressive ride than dropping my car (dont like it scraping all the time)

Are those the HD or Sports? I have the Bilstein Sport shocks and those part #'s look familiar, but just make sure you get the Sports if you plan on lowering the car. The Sports were made for lowering applications since they have a shorter stroke compared to the HD units. The ride is honestly better than stock, maybe a tad bit stiffer, since im lowered on Tanabe GF210 springs. Its Lexus comfort with BMW handling. Hope that helps. =)
