When you lower your car, you have to put on lowering shocks. The oem shocks aren't made to handle lowering springs. There are a bunch of different shock/spring combos that people run here. Try searching a bit.

Hope this answered some of your questions.

I run stock shock's with Eibach's and the only thing that suffers is the ride, it's a tad bouncy. But from what I understand there's plenty of travel in the shock's to support lowering it. I reccomend jsut getting shock's too though as, while your there jsut do it, especially if your paying someone else as that would be twice the labor when you could of just did it.

I though all 202's have Bilstein's just not the sport model Bilstein's.

I'm not an expert on lowering, but I think you do need to get Bilstein Sports if you lower your C36.
