Think I may have to phone for a price then in the next couple of days 8)

I'll see what the £ difference is between the V1's and V2's

KW V1s get harder the lower you go.

When I was on my G60 steels with 50 profile tyres they were fine. Swapped to my Brocks and went down another 30mm and my god. Solid as anything now but I see it as a good thing else I wouldn't be able to almost be sitting on my tyres! :D

Just seen the thread. I decided to go for V2's as my bro was insisting on it. It worked out really well. Since taking the D90's off for the winter i've softened the damping.

Its just having the option of adjusting the height and damping.

I haven't experienced the KW coilovers but can say that I'm more than happy enough with my FK Konigsports :)

Like the KWs, I would imagine that the FKs get firmer the lower the car is set. You certainly feel the bumps but on a smooth or, more often, an average road surface, its as comfortable as standard.

The overriding feeling, once coilovers are on, is just amazement at the extra speed you can carry into a corner whilst the car remains pretty much flat and the grip remains very much there!
