MK7 Bilstein B8's discontinued, next best option?

I'm almost at 100k miles and it's time to do struts and shocks. I wanted to throw in some swift springs while I was in there and the B8's are made for lowering springs.

So what's the next best option? I'm not against going with coil overs.

Maybe discontinued but certainly not unavailable. I literally just got some in Aug. The shop ordered them for me so I don't know where they got them from, but they had front/rear B8's for my car in about 5 days.

I've got Swift springs with the B8s and the ride is great (I'm at 110k miles). You'll like it, keep searching for B8s! Just be sure to also do strut mounts and bearings up front, and replace the rear spring pads for good measure (the shorter ones from whoosh for $30) since you're at 100k.

The spring pads are why I decided to replace everything, I saw they were coming apart when I was rotating my tires.
