I picked up a coilover setup for the fronts this morning so I'll only need the bilstein front inserts.

I also have bilstein coilovers in the rear so I won't need those, thanks for the offers though! Some of you guys have some really nice setups.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference? A coilover is the whole strut assembly with spring and shock, whereas the insert just replaces the shock?

For our cars, and a lot of others, you can get sleeves that fit over the strut housing. The sleeves are threaded and have adjustable perches on them, along with springs and top hats. This allows you to keep the stock housing while being able to have adjustable height via spring and coilover sleeve. This also allows you to use the insert of your choice. I could've been more descriptive as in saying I bought a coilover sleeve setup for the stock strut housing, I just figured people knew what I was taking about. If you're interested in them, check out ground control, Paragon, and there's a set on eBay. You can can also select your spring rate when ordering. This also makes it easy to swap out springs to change your springs if you decide to do so.

No worries, I just don't know much about suspension in general. I knew the difference between coilovers and shocks, but didn't understand what the difference between a coilover and a strut would be. So is there anything else to be gained except ride height adjustment?

Is all good man, always happy to help =)
Ride height is the sole purpose of them, yes, but you also gain a massive spring selection.
