if you're looking to tune and dial in your KW's (provided that you actually get them) PM toekneeg or speedworksracing; they are both in orlando, and they track their cars. im almost sure they can help you out with Coilovers

or get something that holds well on the track and saves you money i.e hypermax, pss9's or even buddyclubs.....i'd hate for you to spend $2k on a set of coilovers if you won't fully utilize them to its full potential.

I know, i mentioned it a couple of times and yet people STILL say stock is better. I understand that stock suspension handles good. Im on it right now!! lol. But I want my car lowered. Stock suspension isnt gonna do it.

Thats very true. I was thinking of that myself. To do well on the track the little I will go, more than likely I wont need the KWs. I may look at other ones, that are less expensive.

I'm looking at suspension too. And from what I have researched kw and pss9 are very good. I haven't seen any negative things about them. My buddy who tracks says kwv3s are overkill for such little track use and a daily so I'm looking into pss9 or v1 or v2

Not necessarily. Some people want the stock height look on coils, but some drop the car at the max height on the aftermarket coils. And many people have purchased coilovers that dont go as low as they want to. Even though the height they want to achieve is low as hell, it is still considered. So IMO its not "ridiculous".
I disagree. If they want to 'slam' their cars "hella-flush" bling-bling rollin' on 19's spinners and chrome, then the sacrifices in suspension travel, ride height, suspension geometry, etc... are pretty much all thrown out of the window and at that point they could have just cut their stock springs to the ride height they wanted and ride on the bump stops half the time. Or buy a noname brand of coilovers for <$1K that are far over-sprung, have no valuable damping to them, but will achieve the 'slammed' look they want.
