Default KW variant 3

Are the KW v3's really worth the $2.3k or are there better bang for buck coilovers?

Are you strictly looking for coilovers? Or also considering spring/strut setups?

Only better for the money would be KW clubsport or TrueChoice Koni Phase 4

V3 is good, but $2.3K price tag is a bit steep. I bought my set slightly used at $1300. Think about getting them used. The repair/revalve is only $100 per shock + shipping to North CA so its not bad.

I had the V3 and later upgraded to Clubsport. I like my CS a lot better than V3 simply cause its a firmer ride and I gained a couple second on the track. But the CS is quite more expensive over V3.

It's your call.

only difference between V2 and V3 is that the V3 has compression adjusters. IMO get the V2 and save up for the rest of suspension upgrades like swaybars, etc etc.
