I don't feel I went wrong. And KW are more surperior. No doubt. There almost twice the price, maybe. There's just different levels of coilovers on the market for all to choose from. And these work for myself. With my level of experience on and off the track I don't feel I that any other coilover would malke me better at the moment till I gain much more track time.

Does anyone know how low and how high you can raise and lower the Z on BC Coils? I have searched and cant find anything.

It always seems hard to find this type of info. But I can guarantee it will lower more than you would need to go.

Anyone have experience with ARK Coilovers, or KSport?

if you don't want to dish out the money for expensive coilover I know a lot of people who are now buying cheap coilover (BC, Stance, etc) and then buying custom coilover springs from swift, it steps up the performance of the coilovers yet doesn't kill your bank account... think about it, its a valid option
