No, lowering your car too much and bottoming them out killed your bilsteins.
Bilstein, just like Koni, specifically states the max lowering allowed before the warranty goes void.

There's nothing wrong with the springs. User error.

Nope, not at all. My Progess springs are just fine, granted I never cut/heat springs.

Wrong springrate then...

I've had a set of their coilovers for years and years, and they handle fine.
So do all of the sets I got for a few friends.

<FONT COLOR="red">Are you guys even on the same page?

Springs and Coil Over sleeves are 2 totally different aspects. </FONT>

The coilovers come with springs, no...?
What difference does it make then?
