I also have BC coilovers waiting to be put on hopefully this week if I dont chicken out because of warranty :(
Cant tell you which are better. BC have been around for a while with mixed reviews on different car forums. From what ive read BC has stepped up their quality in the past couple years. They are not on the level of KW or probably Bilsteins but work for most people budget. I bought mine for street use mostly and the quantity of aadjustable options. I hate the bounciness and wheel gap on my ride and these should solve that problem from the feedback of a few guys on here. My nyc streets are like driving offroad baja without the dirt so major concern is durability...hope they dont blow and last a couple years like Joe's

I've heard nothing but good things about the BC's on this platform or my previous Mazda6 so I'll be going with them in the not so distant future

I myself am torn between KW Street Comfort if available, KW V1, ST Suspensions' offering, Vogtland's coilovers (all three of these are related, KW = ST w/o galvanized finish, Vogtland = KW shock body + vogtland coil springs) - not sure about BC Coilovers yet - feel like they're out of my price range.

I'm looking at coilovers to smooth out how damn harsh the ride in our cars is without screwing up the handling.

don't really want to slam the car and want to leave the coilovers at maximum height (because IIRC they drop me 1" anyways)

Who has the best damping?

Expect to spend more than $2-3k on KW. The only way I would drop that kind of money is if I were really serious about racing.

I'm a dealer for every suspension brand I listed, it's more of figuring out what will actually make my ride tolerable for passengers

Personally for me, anything KW or it's little sister company ST would be perfect for you. I personally think that KW/ST has the best comfort of any coilover, I've had KW V2's on my previous car and KW V3's on my current car, never had an issue since I've got a lifetime warranty with these, and best of all there's lots of adjustment in ride height, rebound and compression to make the car feel exactly the way you want it!

As one of the sponsors on this forum we can certainly help out. We do international shipments all day every day and we've been working with KW for nearly a decade as well. We don't take paypal but if you send me a PM we can go over all that if you would like to get something on order. You don't want to miss out on the great deals we have with KW, we can easily make up for not taking paypal by the price :)

Looks like I made a goof guys! KW/ST aren't available quite yet for Fiesta ST. Obviously with a company like KW it's easy to assume they make coilovers for everything, but the 2014 models are limited for now, but I'm sure we'll see some product in the up and coming weeks/months. Sorry for the confusion!
