Being that there is a substantial price difference between the two (ksport & kw) coil overs I'm very curious to hear some testimonials from both sides. Has anyone had both? How effective the damper control as I don't want to alter the feel of my stock sports suspension too much. Let's try and get a definitive coil over thread. If you have anything to add please do! Cheers.

I had KW v2 before my KSports. Honestly, I didn't feel much difference b/w these 2 coilovers. KSports is more flexible on the damper control as it has 36 levels while I think KWv2 only had 18 levels, so KSports can be set at very hard or very soft. I set it at 2 and 3 clicks from the stiffest and still loving it.

Anyone wants to feel kw2 it would be my pleasure to come over etc... I like Kws better knowing now cause they're easy to adjust. Only the front tires need to come off to adjust but you just turn by hand don't really need a wrench
