Besides the ridiculous price of the KW Coil Covers V3, what is the difference in how good the ride quality between KW & KSport? Which one will hold up better in New York's Pothole city?

I'm lookin for an excuse to justify gettin the ksports lol
Is your car an SE with sport suspension?
I have read that an SE with sport supsension sits slightly lower than an msport; which might explain why yours looks like it sits quite low. I'm not sure if this is true.(I hope not)
