Who's right about the Bilstein B14 kit? Tirerack or Bilstein.us ?
 
This concerns the Bilstein B14 kit
The link is here: https://www.tirerack.com/suspension/...9&autoModClar=
The description says that the adjustment range is 30mm to 50mm

But on Bilstein's page, the exact same product says the range is 0 to 30mm
https://www.bilstein.com/us/en/produ...51839577779359

It's a BIG difference..

It's a deal maker, or breaker for me..
what is the actual adjustment range..?

Does anyone know?

The funny thing is if one looks at the picture of the strut: https://productdeskapi.cart.bilstein...7-165854_3.jpg

There is MORE than 30mm of adjustment..

but the product page clearly states only 30mm, it's all very strange to be honest! LOL

They only really have enough adjustment for corner balancing. Not really ride height.

Well that would be very disappointing---the FIT sits very high. I'm not liking it.

what are you talking about. This is not accurate. I have seen many people on this site with bilsteins that are clearly lowered.

I've seen a lot of people with a lot of things, too. But if you lower your B14s 50mm you're going to waste 2" of stroke. So, if you're looking to slam your Fit consider something with height adjustment independent from the springs.

Wait, are you certain you can go 50mm lower? That was my initial question: how low can you go on these? 30mm max or 50mm max? 50mm is like 1.8 inches (not too slammed, I think.)
