^ That's good to hear because I plan on getting TiC's SST coilovers on Cusco camber plates and from what I understand they are a better version of the AST4100's.
Yeah, You've Probably Never Heard Of Me.

BC/Stance/Megan etc are just ****ty cheap Taiwanese coilovers that hella frush idiots run to slam their cars, they are the absolute WORST suspension you can run except cut springs, PERIOD.
KW has been one of the world leaders among street/track suspension manufacturers for decades, and its more than a little depressing to me that these ****ty cheap-*** hellaflush coilovers have gotten so popular that they are even getting compared in the same breath as them nowadays -_-

+4
I have 9k/9k tarmac 1's w/ vorshlag camber plates, and they rock. The only thing I would upgrade to are AST 4100's.
I've tried:
7k/7k RCE tarmac 1's w/ spec.b tophats | with camber plates
BC BR 6k/8k
Bilstein struts w/ pink spring | Rallitek springs | RSR springs | swift springs

I'm rolling on kw1 at the moment and im loving them had for the rs and the wag. But like others said. My next set I was gonna to try the RCE tarmac setup.
I'm sure if you are just looking to cruise around. Than bc coilovers are fine. Again don't buy in that cusco stuff.. seriously mainly the brand. The quality in my own opinion is just like buying into some China/Taiwan made coilover with cusco branded on it.. I've had better luck with tein flex's on my 02 Rex

From what I was told by RaceComp Engineering: "Keep in mind that GOOD shocks dampen VERY well and are NOT stiff on the street and exhibit awesome chassis control EVEN with stiff springs."
I've been told the same thing by many serious track/autox people. Like Kinkov said, I wouldn't compare Stance/BC/etc to KW. If you're going to compare KW so something, you're looking more at Ohlin, AST, JRZ, etc.
