The Bilstein monotube damper features it's famous massive rod, and the
"Sport" version is a bit shorter, being designed to match the ride height
with lowering springs. The Eibach spring has the same number of coils as
OEM, but is wound tighter, and has slightly thicker coils. It's obviously
shorter too, the posted lowering amount is 35 mm.
