Is it worth it to get JCW suspension at a reasonable price or would I be better off to buy Konis or BC coilovers or M7?

If your looking for performance buy aftermarket and save for coilovers. If you just want to slightly lower and have similar to stock stay JCW.

I have JCW on my car, and I love it. Its a comfortable ride on the street and preforms well for me in autocross without the obnoxious slammed look.

I don't plan on tracking but I want a great ride and I think I'm going to have too rough of a ride with coilovers.....unless there is a plush ride set out there somewhere???? I don't want to slam the paenuts out of it either. I have some dirt road on the way to my house.

I would say buy some adjustable coilovers but it really all comes down to price in my eyes, if you can get jcw for way cheaper, or a good deal on some coilovers you should pick that way, but remeber coilovrs can be adjustable and customizable to the way you want it.
