different to stock iS shocks?

[rallyspec]

Since the 318is comes stock with bilsteins, does anyone know if these http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html...CT_ID=P36-0136 would be much stiffer than stock? i just need to stiffen the front end up to stop the front lip scraping all the time during hard cornering..

thanks.

Springs and sways change stiffness, shocks provide damping. That said, if the struts are blown out, there'll be more movement of the suspension as it loads and unloads.

What springs and sways are on the car? How many miles on the shocks? In general BMW OE or equal shocks are pretty blown out at 60k.

Bav has them for 124 in sports, the HD's are the same rates and have a one inch longer travel.

its all stock 318is shocks, car has done 145400 miles. I guess I should just use stiffer springs at the front? What would you recomend? Thanks.
