The build quality does not look that bad on the BC racing coilovers. However, the difference in price between these kits and the other kits you mentioned is in the dampening and the changes that adjustments make. There is plenty of dyno plots showing the changes a Koni DA makes in comparison with the lower end coilovers. Ultimately though, it is what makes you happy for the money spent.. Enjoy..
I'm running treehouse racing solid control arms busing and Meylee HD control arms with m3 front spindles. I think it may just be the combination of the picture and wheels, They are not even closer to touching my front bumper and were within reason when on the BMW alignment rack (we have special software and alignment pins). When I was doing my research I do remember reading about how every strut and shock is dyno'd matched as a pair and custom dampened per spring rates (not sure if this is true or not). I did find this review with a dyno graph from an NSX that is very in depth. http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php?t=159029

I have not even had a chance to track the car yet through any corners. I do have an autoX on Sept. 30th and will take alot of pictures, and then hopefully do some Hdpe's once the heat alleviates from south fla.
