Default Bilstein Touring shocks

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...ayphotohosting

I was wondering if I should get these, I ran the part numbers at Bilstein.com and found that they are touring class shocks, would these be good to run lowering springs on? I'm not overly concerned with improving the handling as long as I don't end up bouncing off the road and into a ditch after hitting a speed bump

now sure how well they work with lowering springs, I have them on stock springs and they ride great.

well, I've heard that running lowering springs on shocks not made for them will blow the shocks prematurely, that's my biggest concern

You probably don't want to run lowering springs with the tourings. I'm pretty sure they are for OE replacement.
