So I spent all morning in the suspension fourm doing some research. I have a oportunity to pick up a set of KW V1's on a pretty good deal but I noticed that no one is really running these. Everyone is either H&R or the KW2 or 3's. Is there any reason why? How do they ride? I like my H&R springs but I don't like how low the front is. I figure with the coil overs I can adjust it they way I like.

i have been running on v1's for 5000 miles and like them a lot. the ride is not harsh at all and yet provides more road feel than the oem set up. the shop that i bought them from included a free adjustment after they settled - i ended up raising them a bit. i have not had any sagging issues yet that others had with kw coilovers.
i have them matched with hotchkis f/r sway bars, alu kreuz, and 19x9 wheels and i could not be happier with my set up.

Im runing the Sport springs. They ride awsome but after having them on for 3 weeks the front almost droped 2 inches from 27in down to 25 1/8, the rear went from 27in to 25 3/4 like it was supposed to.
