Remove spacer on Bilstein swap?

Upgrading to Bilsteins from Boge. Car set up nicely to Euro height. I understand the Bilsteins usually raise the car up.

There is a 3/4" spacer on top of orig Boges.

Should I leave off hoping the ride height will remain close to where it is now?

+1--I'm very interested in this as well, as I am about to do the same Bilstein/Boge upgrade.

By all means, remove those damned hunks of iron! It was only put there
to meet US bumper height regulations. String the two weights together
for an anchor for your boat!

My thoughts too. Could always dial it up if need be.

BTW, ORDER THE $5 gland but tool. Got mine from bavarian autosport, Portsmouth NH..

They are on line.

It's the 36mm one. Go online, look up bilstein and they list the tools, 30 & 36.

Guy on phone wasn't at all helpful without their part no.

Sorry typing on phone watching the Bruins. Don't have invoice handy.
