about to buy my first coilovers
I found some bilstein coilovers for $400 shipped
now how easily are coilovers adjusted? is this a good deal?
Bilstein Coilovers - These have about 8000 miles on them and are in great shape. This is basically the Gixxerdrew setup everybody does if they want to lower the car but still have a nice ride. They are height adjustable only. Springs are factory Toyota supra springs. These come complete with the pillowmounts and adjustable wrenches. Very easy install. $450 shipped.

That is not the official gixxerdrew set up. The gixxerdrew set up uses aftermarket springs that are a touch stiffer for better performance. Also so you are aware those are not pillow ball mounts those are just stock strut mounts.
Really the only thing that makes this purchase worth it are the bilsteins IF they are in good condition. Those usually run $600+ new for the set of 4. The sleeve over adjustable spring perches are cheap through summit racing and the rest of the stuff is OEM. Those OEM supra springs almost might be a little to soft for some one looking for the performance of a normal coilover.

You do know that you can use the stock springs as an option for the Gixxerdrew setup....dont you? 
But what RonTom said is true....just make sure the Bilsteins are good!

yep paid this morning
i was actually woundering about that
not really looking for performance really, also 800 miles doesnt sound too much or atleast it inst too much. the post said it would come with pillow mounts so i hope that is included,
its going into my dd just to get back forth
as long as its adjustable height and smooth im pretty happy, not looking to hit the track with these or else i would of save a couple hundred more
