We have them fitted in a 90 and they are incredibly good. Here the vehicle in a German forum. The conversion of a 90 ex MOD to a beloved dreamcar

Peter just send me an email with exactly what you require and will try and sort things out for you.
Have not used them myself, can not give any advice about them. However, Peter rates them and a friend of ours called Matthew rates them as well so think they will be a good choice. We are in Germany next week so if need be can bring a set back with us. Brendan |

I've been looking at the Bilstein B16 dampers on a few sites but no where does it seem to say what the ride adjustment is.
Do the B16 lower the ride height in comfort mode? And what is the drop in ride height once you opt for sport setting? Thanks |

If it's only shockers, I don't reckon there'd be any change in ride "height", just the ride "characteristics", soft/hard etc?

Pickles, the B16 is a selectable suspension, it has sport and comfort modes, just select with the touch of a button.
I think there is a change in height, 'tho I don't have them myself.

Good Morning Gents, had the full kit fitted to my 90 back in October 14.
The system is very good and you can really tell the difference between Sport, Normal and Soft! The system can be calibrated and customised using your IPad connected using the Bluetooth module. The system doesn't reduce the height of the vehicle in sport mode but changes the speed and sensitivity of the shock absorbers. If you want to lower your truck you need to run lower springs. If I had the choice and money again would probably look at the full air suspension kit by ACR ( I think). Mega money but awesome system.
