Not trying to be rude or anything jp but I think he wants coilovers for the adjustability and whatnot. Billies aren't very adjustable...

OK, but he didnt say 'adjustable'. To me a coilover is just that, an assembly of spring and shocker, any other attributes need to be stated. The adjustability is not inherent in the shock make either, its typically in the bottom spring perch mounting method. I had fixed height Bilsteins on my Porsche 928 fronts from new, and when I replaced them, the new ones came with adjustable perches.
Can the GTB strut/spring assemblies be made adjustable ?

You may be technically correct, but I don't know of anyone that refers to fixed springs and shocks as coilovers (ie- Bilsteins & STi springs).

http://www.otomoto.com.au/HDSystems/I've run 3 sets of these coilovers now(HR Series) and been very happy on all counts! At the moment the car is riding quite low, especially at the rear, but the ride is still good IMO and not overly bump/annoying!
I am getting a fair bit of rubbing on the guards(mostly from the front wheels, and that's as I have aftermarket wheels fitted and unrolled guards), but other than that, the handling is hugely improved!
Dampening settings are pretty well in the middle, so plenty of adjustment to be had once the guards are rolled etc...
