Any one done H&R kit 29378-1 with Bilstein touring?

I'm doing a complete suspension overhaul along with strut/shock refresh with Bilstein Touring B4 (not HD). Would like to take this opportunity to lower the beaut. Thinking of using H&R kit 29378-1 which includes one pair of front springs and shortened level sensor linkage for rear air suspension lowering.

Anyone done this combination of lowering? Any feedback?

Thanks!

I have a new set of Bilstein HDs and H&R springs sitting in my basement.
They were on my X for about 1500 miles when I bought it. I installed BCs instantly.
I don't have enough seat time to give you any feedback on the ride though.
This is a complete air bag replacement so no links. All 4 struts and springs

Yes I have this set of springs and load leveler on the my 4.6is. I decided to use the sachs sport dampers with the H&R Spring kit. It drives and works well. You can adjust the leveler arm in the kit to custom lower the air springs on the back of the X5.

That's exactly what I need but I got Biltein B4 touring (EO replacement). Sounds I should have gotten the HD version?
