BCs were about $1000 when they came out, but you can get them for about $800 now.

More adjustability isn't necessarily better, especially when you're going to just dial them in once and forget about it.

Another vote for KWV3 here, based on the progressive spring; its comfortable to drive on.

I know what your saying, why have 30 settings when you just need 1.

Well wouldnt you want it to be YOUR choice what that setting is? The tanabes arent adjustable at all so you have no choice in how stiff/soft they are.

Im pro choice lol

JICs and KWs are in the same price range. And again, IMHO, i think the design of the JICs is better.

Care to elaborate? I'm just curious, as I know owners of both who swear by their respective systems. I personally think the KW is a better street choice, while the JIC ultimately offers better performance to the average joe who doesn't have extensive suspension setup knowledge.

Per your "pro choice" post, I favor the KW's since they're 2 way adjustable
