I ordered Motons, what will happen if I don't know anyone who has a PIWIS? I live in a country with as little as 2 Porsche 911s. So there aren't any dealers around.

Send in your ECU to someone who can turn off PASM.

It's a tough call. Both are great. From my experience, PSS10's are a little bit more conservative and won't go as low, KW V3 is a great all-around coil and we sell more of KW than all other coil brands combined.

If you elect to disable PASM, and really hate having the PASM button that is non functional, you can also swap the control panel for something like this (note PASM button is missing - this photo is form a 05 Carrera without PASM.)

I have KW HLS and Bilstein/TA coilovers and noticed that KW coils are thiner than TA so I think KW is softer and that is good for the street specially when the roads are bad but I think that for the track TA coilovers work better,I have to test the new KW susp in the truck before changing spring rate.

TA/Bilstein shocks are softer than KW shocks
TA/Bilstein springs are harder than KW springs
So one has softer shock but harder spring so I will have to play with the setting,now i am having a little bit of trouble doing 2.5 mm holes in the rear boom box to install 2mm allen tip to adjust the rear shocks,I need to be able to adjust for different situations.

No actual experience, just from reading and "web research." 
My understanding is KW uses very stiff spring (973 lbs/in rear, compared this with for example Bilstein's 570) and compensates by low compression damping. This seems to be the opposite of what you're writing??
Please do correct me if I am wrong.

I am no expert, but I was told that it is ideal to have softer spring rates and compensate with the adjustability of compression damping.
Maybe some of you suspension experts can chime in here?
