Default I need a pair of used Bilstein Sports rear shocks.........

I've got a set of PSS9's on the TT along with Neuspeed rear sway bar. I have found my TT to be very loose regardless of settings on the shocks. After a long discussion with Bilstein, they believe the internal mechanisms on my rear shocks may be defective and keeping my rear shocks on full firm. They said this is why my TT's rear may be breaking away on hard left turns, but not on hard right turns.

Bilstein will either replace or rebuild mine after I send them to them. However, the TT will be out of service for a couple of weeks unless I can find some shorter shocks, such as Bilstein Sports.

Bilstein is concerned that if I put the OEM shocks back in then I may actually lift the springs out of their perch since the OEM shocks are longer than those intended for the PSS9's.

Any thoughts or help on this?

Go with used OEM's for a couple of weeks. Not too many people want to part with thier Bilsteins.
