Opinions: Bilstein shocks & springs

Just ordered Bilstein Tuned Suspension BTS 7501 (shock & springs). Anyone have good or bad experiences?

had that kit on my car. nice ride height. dont drop too far like most other springs after they set. I think i dropped about 1.5 inches after they settled. ive heard of others that claim 2" drop turn into 3" and 1" that end up at 2", so in that regards not bad. The rear however will take a beating if you launch hard on them alot. I found they seem to fatigue the springs after repeated hard launches and then sagged a little more in the rear.

What were your impressions on the car's handling and ride before/after the kit was installed?
