buddy club racing spec coils vs. kw variant 1 coils?
Recently picked up a 95 miata and want to start by lowering it. I found both buddy club and variant 1 coilovers on raceinspired.com for a decent price. I just want some opinions on which would be more reliable for agressive street driving? Which have a smoother more comfortable ride?

my take on kw's are that while the handling and ride are good, the collars are made out of plastic and metal. The metal is on the threads, but the plastic is on the outer part of the collar where the wrench would grab. I broke one of my collars when I was trying to raise my car up. Granted it was after a few winters, I'm sure it wont be as bad if you live in a warm climate.
*This was on my vw, it might be different for the miata but I've seen a few other applications that were like mine.

KW sells no junk. For a street car, I'd happily recommend the V1s to a customer. They won't get you 185s-on-13x9s-with-8-degrees-of-camber-mega-mad-crazy low, but they will be an extremely high quality shock that should ride very well and live forever.
Which you can't say about any of the JDM y0 monotubes.
