Valving the shocks and rates is great but R&D do this already when making kits for the better suited for application which is why BOM, FK ect work fine on road but suck on track,,, oh and I'm sure the cheeper coilovers are the same kits restickered hence they look almost identical and have rear platforms identical for rear height

I'd personally rather a B10 kit that cheep coilovers as I prefer twin tube handling after 5 mins on use not to aerate the oil like a aero bar
Been setting cars up for years mate and yes theres always a compromise Ginge my point is you can get them alot better with the right info
