Default "Neuspeed Bilsteins" are "Bilstein Sports" with multiple spring perch grooves......

This allows you to adjust the ride height of the car by choosing the perch.

I lowered my car 20mm front and 10mm rear just by replacing the shocks with Neu Bils (kept the stock sport springs).

Even if you plan to lower by using springs, the Neu-Bils are a great idea because they allow you to fine tune the height if it doesn't come out exactly how you want it. With regular Bils you're stuck with whatever drop the springs give ya.

Default you can get them done at a machine shop, or...

bilstein can do them for you. still, having it already done and right is worth something, right? 8)

plus the difference in price is slight. Much cheaper than getting them grooved I would think.
