MK2 V70 D5 lowering shocks

[D5smoker]

Hi all, first time poster here so apologies if this is in the wrong place.

I have recently ordered a set of Cobra lowering springs for my MK2 V70 D5 (2007). I’ve gone for a 25mm drop in the front and 40mm in the rear. After plenty of research and forum reading the consensus seems to be a big no no to the use of standard shocks with lowering springs. So, my question is - does this specifically refer to “lowered” shocks such as Bilstein B8’s or is a set of updated standard length shocks enough to do the job?

Cobra Suspension informed me that their lowering springs are designed to be used with standard shocks, but I’d rather be safe than sorry and change the shocks whilst I’m tackling the springs.

If anyone has had any experience with updated shocks & lowering springs, any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
