Ok.....what kind of help you looking for? What questions you got?

BTW I would obviously go with V2's, but i'm biased =)

hard to get a good comparison because almost no one really has Cross coilovers (perhaps 1 or 2 members)/everyone has KW V2's. And I think cross coilovers have only just been recently presented as an alternate coilover brand. Not trying to take anything away from the KW V2's...as they are used and recc'd so often here should speak for their build and ride quality...

there's also a good reason why MacFly is recc'd so often for whom to purchase KW's from.....

GL with your decision...
