B4 aren't compatible with lowering springs. Get the B8 instead or wait till you can get them. The B4 won't last what they're supposed to with those springs. :wink:

Cheers

as in they won't fit ? or they are a good match ?

They'll fit but they'll wear out much sooner than normal. B8 will last as expected.

I have a non s-line so i was thinking this could be a slight upgrade, even if they last 1.5-2 years I will be happy, then for for b8's when they die.

B4 are the same as stock. B6 are the same as sport suspension and B8 are for lowering springs.

I don't know how long they will last, it depends on the roads and miles you'll drive.

as above b4s are same as standard, i would use them with a 20mm drop but any lower then the b8's are the ones to use

On their web site they quite they are fine to use with a lowering spring of up to 40mm. I only drive from Nottingham to Hampshire on motorways so its not going to take a battering.

Yeap, motorways should be fine for what you're after. :smiley:
