Bilstein B12 Pro-kit, is it a valid performance upgrade over stock?

Back tends to sag more... even with that lower number in front, Vogz says he has more clearance in front fender than rear.

That's exactly what I'm worried about when I consider going with shocks and springs without height adjustability. I know I'll set the height once and forget it, but the reverse-rake illusion from the front gap being more than the rear would bother me for the duration.

Im worried about the same! I have STs on the car now but want more OEM ride quality. So I may buy this kit. Im a set and and leave it guy... so I cant justify spending $2000 on a quality Coilover setup.

Yep, that's where I am with it. The PSS10 sure looks like a great coilover kit but I'll end up paying $1300 more just to be able to tweak the ride height to perfection. I'm leaning toward KW H.A.S. (with the avant rear springs to avoid sagging) with aftermarket dampers, but it doesn't seem like many people go this route. Seems like it isn't really a tried and true solution for whatever reason.

EDIT: Price-wise, I think I would be looking at $800 for the KW H.A.S. and $700 for the Bilstein B8 dampers, so that's right between a matched spring+damper kit and a set of PSS10 coilovers. Decisions...
