I think 9 out of 10 with KW on any car will tell you they are one of the best suspension out there if you are looking for that "stock" ride feel. I think when you change up any suspension, it will never be the same as stock, but V2's have gotten real close, keep in mind that they are adjustable as well.
V3's are an overkill unless you are going to track. Do V2's, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Like you I've done my research as well and everything seems to point to the V2's.
+1 on Macfly. He'll hook you up like he did on 95% of the people on this board LOL

This is the best price I've found so far on the V3's. I don't know anything about the company...maybe someone here has ordered from them and can chime in.

I have KW Street Comfort, and compared to non-sport chassis that I had before, it is almost the same. If 10 is comfort of the OEM non-sport, then KW SC is 9.
I haven't seen the Street Comfort choice mentioned many times in KW coilover conversations, so I guess many don't have it. Sure you can't ?slam? the car the same way as with V2 or V3 for example. The maximum drop is 45mm (1,8") in front and 40mm (1,6") in rear compared to non-sport chassis (I think).
V2's and V3's measures are 50mm (2,17") front and rear.
I really like my coilovers. The rebound damping is adjustable like in V2s and it is very hard to notice the difference in comfort compared to OEM. And the car handles the curves much better
. I rational choice for a car enthusiast who want to remain the comfort but also wants better handling and a reasonable drop. Just my 2 cents...
