I think when I will come back to discuss with the garage, I thought also to ask about a potential suspension components change (tie rod ends, ball joints, control arms etc.) alongside the rubber mounts replacement.
However regarding the shocks, I am not sure I would agree ; as I said, I do not want to lower the car, Bilstein B6 are designed to work at stock height with the same travel as the original damper, just stiffer.
In my point of view, shocks design (travel distance, etc.) and shocks stiffness are two different things and I think with this setup I could have a little stiffer shocks (i.e. better handling) without loosing the comfort and practicality of stock height setup (clearance of bumps, etc.)
