Bilstein B8 questions

Does B8 include springs?

No. B8 is the damper only, about 20 mm shorter than standard to suit lowering springs. For dampers and springs in one kit, choose B12.

Can I fit B8 to a car at standard height?

B8 is designed for lowered cars. At standard ride height, B4 or B6 is the right damper.
