Just the right amount of lift.

This kit is stellar, it comes with everything you need to do the job. It even came with lower strut camber bolts for the front, even though I didn't end up needing them.
My starting measurements were 31" in the rear, 30" in the front (ground to fender arch)
After the lift, I'm sitting at 33" in the rear, and 32.5" in the front. I'm sure the springs will settle a bit in the front a bit.
I opted for the Overload springs in the rear; unloaded the vehicle feels a bit truck-like, but with my fully loaded bike rack on and other cargo, the stiffness dissipates.
The on road ride characteristics are sporty. The turn in is sharp and responsive, and the brake and shift dive have reduced significantly.
The subframe spacer kit is the Bilstein supplied kit, and drops exactly 1", which is a great balance in my opinion– it's just enough to give additional differential clearance. It comes with rear brake line mount extenders too.
I torqued all the subframe bolts in the air, and let the car settle before torquing all the suspension knuckle bolts and shock mounts, and was able to keep my alignment pretty close. The rear camber is just a touch negative like stock.
The front struts were able to achieve 0° camber by almost maxing out the stock camber bolts towards positive camber, which is a neat because with a lot of spacer lifts you usually have too much positive camber with a max negative setting. So kudos to Bilstein for the right geometry adjustment.
All in all, this is a great kit. All the details are attended to as far as spring insulators and hardware. Excited to get this thing in the dirt!
