    Hey guys new to the forum. So I'm thinking about getting the bilstein adjustable coils. I'm not very tech savy about suspension lifts and stuff like that. Has anyone ran them and what they think about them

    if your referring to bilstein 5100's i'd bet they were the most popular shock upgrade used of any brand people here buy.
    i have them and find them great but i also run them at the lowest lifted position(1.75") which is noticeably higher than stock. i believe if you want any more lift than that it should be done either by coupling the 5100's set at zero and using a lifting spring or buying a lift kit altogether.
