As for embarrassing moments over bad roads, I'd say most likely yes. If you hit a bump with a full car, you run the risk of bottoming out with stock shocks. I'd just got full Bilstein + HR spring combo from the start.
Thanks once again Presario! Well the B14 is costing me around USD2500 inclusive of shipping and installation in India whereas the H&R Sport is for around USD500 and the B8s are coming around USD 1400 (all 4 shocks including installation). Won't the H&Rs + B8s (OR B6) will make a better package ? I ain't planning to lower the car more than 1.2.

I'd imagine roads over in India are similar with here in Jakarta, city vicinities are fine but once in the urban areas things can get quite bumpy. the HR springs drop the car quite a bit so i'd think u need a more subtle drop, no?...

M Performance Suspension is not on offer in India. It's the only thing that's missing from their Performance accessories catalogue. And, H&R lowers around 1.2 all over so that won't be too low for India. My only dilemma now is to whether keep the stoke shocks for 15-20k kms or get the bilsteins right away.

PS: How would the Bilstein B6 be with the H&R Sports ?
