Yeah, that's correct. All of these shocks are the same, BC Racing/K-sport/FortuneAuto/Broadway/D2/Megan/etc etc, and none of them are built with track applications in mind. They have shitty cast pistons, the adjusters have 30 clicks of adjustment and only the first few actually do anything, they also adjust compression and rebound simultaneously which works on a street car because it just makes the shock "feel" stiffer, but you would never do this when fine tuning a race car. The biggest issue for someone tracking their car and trying to get better is repeatability and consistency, and these just don't have it. I'm not trying to say these are bad shocks, they work just fine for street cars and 80% of users on this forum, but if you are looking for something to run hard on the track, learn about your car/setup you need to look elsewhere... These will end up holding you back sooner than later.
As far as your cars issues, what do you have on it now and what rates? What is the car actually doing? Have you had the car scaled and aligned? I think with the package you have now, some setup time, a good set of shocks and a lot of track time would yield a really fast car. That MX-5 I posted makes ~220whp, runs 225/45 Continental slicks (not very sticky, endurance compound), weigh 2650, and has ZERO aero... and I can guarantee you it's not running BC's :)
