Also, good enough means jack shit when for the same price you can get a set of coilovers that were actually engineered for the car by reputable companies (ST, Tein).
Most of those coilovers are made next to BC’s and all the other companies

I specifically pointed out ST because they aren't. They're made in Germany at KW facilities with KW parts in ST housings. Not sure about Tein, but their housing looks different from the housings typical for BC/FK/TC Kline/ whatever else they're sold as in different colors.

As soon as I see BC's trademark 32point-adjustment on any other coilover I say run away. If you need 32 levels of adjustment you haven't done anything to tailor the shock to the application.

You can bash the product all you like but all you are doing is telling OP that its the product and not his lack of understanding that changing suspension components and adjusting ride height requires an alignment, it is information and advice like this that leads to people thinking this way. If OP was building a time attack or track car your advice would be well placed and i would agree that the BC's would not suffice but in this thread the issue is not the quality of the strut but OP's lack of understanding.
No.
