I just found out that there are available:

I have ran the Bilstein HDs before and they are amazing!!!

I am going to have a hard time justifying these for Louise as I just changed all of the shocks out

Should be pretty good for it. At least as good as stock. I'm not sure if bilstein would make a shortened stroke shock for lowered minis.

HD is recommended for regular height springs. sport shocks are recommend for use with lowering springs
