It has probably been proven on shock dynos, but even when you ride in cars with these shocks, there is a difference.
Not hating on the suspension, because it is well priced. Just know what you're getting
I think anything at $975 or below would be ok.

Why is that? What is it missing?Quote:

I don't think he's saying it's a bad coilover, but that more expensive coilovers are more expensive for a reason and that that premium is worth it when it comes to ride quality.
What about a "Tracked car vs Daily Driver" suspension? Most of us will not be buying these for anything but DD, myself included.
Outside of spring rates, most track suspension has the adjustability to also be used on the street, and with better results.Quote:

Depending on the spring rate, you need a damper that can effectively dampen that spring without over or under oscillationQuote:

Why are the kw's coming off? Are they not doing it for you? Just curious as they would be expected to be better than the BCs..Quote:

I'm interested in pricing with adjusters as well. Also interested in custom spring rates if that's possible.
I won't know pricing on adjusters until Monday.
SORRY GUYS. those peeps never contacted me back for the "adjusters"
Adjusters can be had for 35-45 on eBay.......just an FYI since they arent playing nice with Ray.

Whats the difference between he normal springs vs swift springs?
Basically stiffer
BC racing "Swift Spring upgrade allows every coilover system to be completely customizable, with varying coil diameters, lengths, and spring rates for every conceivable application. These are competition linear-rate springs designed for street or competition use, and can be tailored to nearly any vehicle or purpose."
Gotcha. I just went with the standard ones, don't think i'll need anything that serious.Quote:

I think I'm around 20 all around, too much more than that and you'll start to see some ricer bounce. And yeah that's how you do it.Quote:
