I just found out that there are available:

http://www.bilstein.com/mistore/ymm_...reYMM=storeYMM

I have ran the Bilstein HDs before and they are amazing!!!

I am going to have a hard time justifying these for Louise as I just changed all of the shocks out

Should be pretty good for it. At least as good as stock. I'm not sure if bilstein would make a shortened stroke shock for lowered minis.
