Overall - A good, quality option at a price point materially lower than the Ohlins R&T.
Ride - A little stiffer than the stock setup over uneven pavement but I've been living with it without too much complaining from the girlfriend - and I live in Manhattan. Generally, l keep them at the softest settings for the street and crank them up a bit for track days. Over wavy pavement, there is much better control than the stock setup - with the stock suspension the tires tended to bounce out of control in some situations. The Bilsteins remind of the very controlled ride in some of the Porsches I have driven.
Quietness - So far both the B16s and camber plates have not made a sound. Thankfully, the "swoosh" sound from the stock shocks when going over speed bumps is also gone.
Adjustability - Single adjustment knob for compression/rebound ratio makes life easier for someone like me who is new to coilover setup. They are located at the bottom of the shocks so a jack is necessary to reach them, but otherwise easy to adjust. Nice solid and clear clicks for each setting.

Appreciate the feedback. This helps me make my decision a lot easier. The price point is also definitely a plus.
