Bilstein sports backwards??
Wondering how many owners have installed the Bilstein Sport shocks backwards from what Bilstein labels say.....meaning : FRONT BE3-A058-H0 , REAR BE3-A057-H0......and why...what are the impressions, opinions...
Cheers,
Max

They should be flipped from what the website says. I have driven my car both ways, twice, trying out both configurations and it only rides correctly with the longer shocks up front and the shorter shocks in the back which matches the stock configuration. I'll post up my shock length measurements later on as they're at home.

Fallbangskid had problem when the A058 in the front and A057 in the rear.
Later, The Wheel Supply in Walnut switched them, made A057 in the front and A058 in the rear, problem gone.
