Basing a coilover off of so many other cars isn't fair unless they all had the same tires, ride height, camber arms, bushings alignment etc. all effect how it runs.

Ride height on the G was 25" middle of fender to ground front and rear. She was low, no issues what so ever. The Z is at 25.5", you can go much lower with the stance set up your right, but my car won't see 24" ride height territory. Plus the KW's weren't meant for that. And all the cars i was referring to that I have ridden in were G's different tires yes, alignment and toe were basically close, around -2 on camber, with most running spc arms. Not knocking stance, most guys slamming their rides static run em, and their great. But as far as kw's riding like crap, far from it brother, ride quality and workmanship are ridiculous, comfortable, planted, no squat when accelerating, steering is firm, and the more u push it the better it performs. And longevity on em aren't an issue. Had em for years on the G.

I don't like low anyways but lots do. I just think those guys will mess things up and more than just one way. I'm not saying they ride bad if set correctly. Most don't set correctly! Also it depends what you're doing with the car. For me with the price and what you get it's to much money and not enough performance. A street G is the exact opposite of my car though. I might have missed it but I need to see the OP's intentions.
