Update. I've had the B14s on, now fully aligned, and for about 500+ Miles.



The good:
-Excellent ride height using minimal settings set by Bilstein.

-No popping, which is a feedback I saw on a couple of posts.
-Excellent handling and smoothness at highway speeds. Compared to OEM, I feel there was more raw feedback from the suspension, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But now it feels more inviting, because there's a feeling of more control.

-Back-road driving, so much more engaging. Again, the car feels inviting to take on turns at higher speeds than I would do on OEM suspension.

-For a first time installer of suspension components, install wasn't necessarily hard. With proper preparation and tools, it is perfectly achievable.



The Bad:
-The first few hundred miles, under the minimal height settings, can be bumpy. If you have a low sensitivity dash cam, it will set off your crash sensor.
-Low speeds i.e., local town driving can be a little jarring. Is not as bad now, or Im just getting used to it.

-Installation instructions are very poorly written. Toss them and look up the FTSpeed videos on installing lowering springs (To learn how to remove OEM components that you'll need) and installing Coil-overs.

-Setting up ride height was kind of a pain, the wrenches just suck and kept on slipping. For measurements I used a micrometer and I found it to be the most effective way, just don't forget to zero it like I did.



From my very little suspension knowledge, I'd say they are great. I haven't tracked the car, ever, so I can't speak for track performance on OEM vs on the B14s. From the back-road perspective, it handles much better.
