Think the V2's worked out about £100 dearer.

TBH I'd prefer not to have the option of damping settings, I would always be fiddling to try and get it just right, and would never be satisfied.

Still not sure, are coilovers easy to look after? all i want is the car to look right with the 16's on. If that is all i want would i be wasting my money on coil overs? should i go for something like a set of koni adjustables and springs?

As long as you pre-grease them. And then grease and re-adjust them approx twice annually to stop them seizing, they'll be fine.

Well said
I adjusted my coilovers a few weeks back after having them on the car for over a year and had no problems at all.

I can't comment on what those are like, but you could get KW Variant 1's if you were willing to spend about £70-£80 more.
