Default Most likely, yes.

On my setup, my car sits lower than others with just Eurosports and factory shocks. If they are indeed the same springs, then the only thing else that would account for the difference in height are the shocks.

Your nuespeed bilsteins will come with adjustable perches. Set at their lowest setting, you should be left with a 1.5 finger gap front and rear (someone confirm). Set them to your tastes.

Default Yep.

at least 1.5 gap. It might sit lower in the rear.

This is with neuspeed springs though.

Default Are these Bilsteins only available from Neuspeed?

Forgive me for this stupid question

Default The neuspeeds from bilstein are ride height adjustable front and rear...

the ones from bilstein directly or one of their distributors are adjustable rear only (and even then, not as much as the neuspeed ones)

Basically neuspeed adds 5 (I think) perches to the front shocks, and adds 2 more (to the existing 3) on the rears.

No. I ordered my Bilsteins from www.carparts.com and received
the "Neuspeed" version of the shocks. The fronts even have
a Neuspeed sticker on them.
