Ride with bilsteins cranked?

Hey guys, so I started a thread the other day seeing if what I wanted to do was possible, putting 6-8" bilsteins in my lift and setting them on the highest setting. So now that I can do that, how would
That affect the ride from the regular lift? Since its a strut and not a spacer, would the ride not change?

Its gonna be the same ride if you did the spacer. All your doing is adding preload to the coilover to simulate the same thing a spacer would do.

Why go with spacers? I'm already going to have the bilsteins in, why not just set them on the 1.5" notch?

I had them on my 07 and they rode ok; a little better than stock. I would prefer a longer shock over a spacer any day.
