Default Bilstein BTS shock/spring package question

Kit #BTS-7501. Anyone have information for or against this package. I'm looking for better handling in my daily driven 02 Z28, with a trip to the track maybe once or twice a year. Thanks in advance . Oh, and yes, adjustable PHB and LCA relocate brackets are in the works.

I think the general concensus in that Bilstein shocks (if they are NOT revalved) do not work all that well on aftermarket springs, even if they come packaged together.

YES YES , its funny to see they also offer a package like that for mustang, I m wondering if they do the same thing and just pretend to match the shocks like its the case for the camaro BTS package...
