Go with KW Coilovers V3 if you want coilovers done right. =)
dude v3 is complete overkill and v2 is overkill too
the kw street comfort system is prob the best bang for the buck and its right under $1400

Would this street comfort system be considered their "V1"?

I recently bought KW V2's but have not had the time to put them on yet.
Joe C, if you're interested once I get my coils put on, I will let you know so we can meet up and you can test them out.

No, the street comfort is not the v1.
Im not too sure what the difference is but the street comfort is a great bargain
the v2 is a serious coil setup and for $1680 and upwards is a great deal.

KW V2 is the perfect and best setup. You can adjust the height and dampening (how comfortable). They are made of stainless steel so they won't rust either. Lifetime warranty. V3 is overkill and V2 is worth over V1.
For a less expensive setup, Bilstein or H&R would be a good way to go.
You could do springs, but just remember you'll need to replace your shocks eventually. It's better to do it all at once.
