BILSTEIN STRUT OWNERS COME IN!

I just ordered two front bilstein HD struts for my lowered 03GT
i have the griggs coilover springs (350lb coilover rate)
im getting rid of my koni yellow single adjustables because the ride was way too harsh. will these struts improve the quality of the ride compared with the harsh konis?
How does everyone like their bilsteins?

see i hate to sound annoying, but making all these threads im trying to get this setup right, for a year the front has been making all kinds of noise, its quieted down a bit but its still there with the konis. im blaming it on the stiff struts of the koni's but im starting to think it could be the c/c plates as well

my biggest concern right now:
strut travel- The steeda 4 bolt plates im using are flat, compared to MM and griggs plates. im wondering if this inch or so of strut travel length is causing the struts to bottom out on bumps. they werent cheap and theres nothing wrong with them, but im thinking its hindering the travel of the struts. is this possible, and can you maybe post some pics of your MM plates on the tower, to see how far it extends up and allows the strut to travel? thanks..
