I've had B14s on for about a year now. Mine came out of the box set to the lowest height Bilstein recommends (they're threaded to allow you to go lower than this, if you choose to use them with custom springs). So no ride height adjustment was needed on mine.
They're bumpy on broken pavement because they're coilovers, but are great on open highway, back roads and autocrossing. I have -2.5 degrees of camber in the front and a bit of toe front and rear. With my driving they handle very neutrally, maybe a touch of oversteer. I love it.
I bought these because they were the only option custom valved for our car and actually track tested within my budget. And they didn't have sky high springs rates almost every other coilover has.
The progressive spring means these are bigger than most other coils - standard coilover covers didn't fit on mine, so they've gotten a winter's worth of salt and grime and nastiness on them. No more shiny finish.
Any kind of real weight in the back (people, luggage, tools) and you'll be on the rear bump stops. Do not recommend driving on Michigan interstates with a loaded trunk.
So far, mine are working as advertised. The ride height threads are probably seized but I don't plan on touching them.
