I've had the KW V2s since Feb and I think they perform great! Freed0m experienced a lot of creaking noices in his car and he thought they were from dropping the car but found out they were from the door seals.
The V3s allow for more adjustments and usually used in race set ups.

Yep.
It's a great system and I never had any problems with it. My friend who has a modified Audi A4 rode with me on our last Meet and Drive and he was shocked at how well the car handled, especially that it's lowered with 20" wheels. He said it rode better than some cars he's been in with 19s. I think that's a tribute to the quality of the KWs.

Ride isn't soft like stock and that's a good thing if you like the 'ride on rails' controls

Well, it can be soft depending on how you dial the shocks but I'm not sure how soft compared to stock. That's the beauty of this and other rebound or compression adjustable systems is that you can dial in your ride height and stiffness of the shocks.
