I have these on my turbo. Highway ride improved over stock suspension. I test drove with a car that had them and was sold. Sorry cannot compare with others. Mine is lowered about an inch, after corner balancing the car is awesome.

Good Luck

I have them on my S4 and have nothing but good things to say about V3's. Since my S4 is my daily it sees rain,snow and salt every year. When I wash my suspension when detailing the wheel wells they look brand new. The finish on them does not rust at all and the rubber spring coating seems to be very durable. I occasionally Auto-x my car and have one track day on it. The suspension performed very well. Good thing is I can adjust them before the event and then soften them back up after for the ride home.

costs more than Pss9s, but then you get what you pay for in terms of suspension

Have them on mine really great! You may want to think about changing out the front & rear stock camber plates for the GT3 plates I did due tracking the car. I also added front an rear sway bars. Great total package.

I have them on mine, they started to leak so i took all 4 of them off and sent it back to kw, easy to deal with and got it back in a flash!!
They fixed mine for free, I guess they warranty for life!! good deal if you ask me!

I have the Kw v3 and they are great. They have more adjustment than the PSS9 and don't have bump stop problems on the track. They are used on alot of Euro Porsche racing teams.
