BC is a entry level track/performance coilover and for that application I would say it is a great buy. If I wanted a smoother ride overall, I definitely would have gone koni/swift spec-R setup. But my goal is building a track car and maybe getting something that gets 40 miles ag allon to get to work by the end of this year.

I track at least twice a month these days, and even though it has taken me 5+ months to dial in my rates on the BC's, I am very impressed with what the BC's have done and how well they can dampen track level conditions for their price.

Don't confuse that with having a nice soft, buttery ride on the way to work- I don't. A linear spring on a racing damper isn't supposed to be nice and smooth-it is supposed to handle extreme turns and weight changes etc.

The KW v1 and V3 are both going to deliver a smoother daily driver ride period. They have progressive springs that do a much better job of absorbing the little bumps and cracks of daily/street driving than a linear spring could ever hope to do. That is what they are designed to do, and they do it quite well.

But as a entry level track coilover that performs, I would definitely say the BC's are ultimately the better track choice than a KW V3, mainly because of the custom valving and the extensive selection of spring rates. As an out of the box silky smooth daily driver coil that does quite well at the track, the V3 is a better choice-but it is also about twice the price.
