Start here. Just read the top of the page, you don't even have to look for it. This is from Bilstien's website.

IMPORTANT NOTE-SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS FOR LOWERING VEHICLE RIDE HEIGHT.
If Bilstein shocks are used in conjunction with shorter aftermarket springs, the shocks selected should
be Sport type. HD or C type shocks are not suitable.

So, you guys can think what you want and as I said, it can work somewhat (and the world won't end), but in fact, the manufacturer recommends against it (I wasn't lying about that).
