some says the kw are better than the bilstein, but i rather the bilstein since they are more road compliant and you dont have to shut off the pasm with those.

Can't go wrong either way. Bilsteins lets you hve PASM controls. KW's do not. You prolly won't have a problem to turn of PASM in Greece but here in the US its hard to get them to do it for liability reasons.

KW are also more expensive.

Exactly. Historically, we've found that PSS10's are a more "streetable" coil, with better comfort and less of a range for lowering... however, that's compared to the KW V2. What's nice about the V3 is that you can not only adjust height and dampening, but also rebound. Having driven on V3's but never personally owned a set long enough to try out various rebound settings alongside various dampening settings, I can't say which will be more comforting, but were you to ask my professional opinion, I would most likely suggest the PSS10's. The PASM compatibility alone (not to mention the better price and the fact that I sense the PSS10 is a better match for your life/driving style) is enough to make it a sound investment.
