I have the Bilstein PSS9 adjustable height and damper in mine. Don't have anything to compare to but the ride is firm even on the lightest damper setting. As such I've never adjusted the dampers.

The ride is better then i expected, and you can adjust it light or tough much as you want. On the lighest its very comfortable. I set it to medium.
IMO this is the best coils you can choose for price/quality.

My mate at work got a pair of hot tuning budget coilovers for £200 and he said they do not perform that well. The ride is very stiff and bumpy at the same time - he wishes he had purchased some more exspensive ones. But again, you get what you pay for.
I'm considering KW Variant 2's, but i dont even know if im going to benefit from the performance ? I live in the sticks and my road driving mainly consists of twisty country roads and small towns... So i will definately need something with adjustable damper!
has anyone purchased coilies for around the £600 mark ?
I'll try to explain this in my best English, as i'm Dutch
I talked to a guy from Weitec @ Essen Motorshow (Germany) and asked him thesame question. He said to me that an adjustale damper is only needed if you want your ride stiffer. You can't adjust your damper so that it's more comfortable than a non-adjustable damper, only stiffer.
