Coilovers for Z

You're right about the twin tube vs monotube analogy but if I was getting a monotube I would get something like ast-usa.com. Dampers which are properly valves and sprung. You

All I can say is I have the BC and I think the spring rate is about perfect for a street/HPDE setup. For an all out track monster you would probably want stiffer springs (check Travis's build thread). I wouldn't even begin to compare them to the likes of Megan, their spring to damper rates are way off from what I here.
