Performance coilovers

I run KWs on my E60. My vote is for KWs. By looking at that link I believe the KW V1 is a better choice. It is matched. Looks like that kit is part Bilstein and HR. If you are tracking it semi often then KW V3s are good. Tracking often then KW Club Sports.

Would you say KW1's are better than PSS10's? I found a deal on them for around the same price as the KW1's and as I understand it, PSS10's are more performance oriented but the KW's go lower.

The PSS10s are an adjustable rebound damping and ride height adjustable coilover, the soft setting is very very street friendly, the firmer settings are rather nice on the track. They give you the ability to really dial in the ride and handling.

The KW V1s would be more comparable to the Bilstein PSS coilovers than the PSS10s. Comparing the two both are rather firm but not uncomfortably on the streets and damping is fixed. The KWs have a slightly lower range of adjustability.

Also looking at the kit you linked before those look nearly identical to the H&R Street Performance coilovers, even the part number listed is overly similar to the H&R part number for that kit. They do not have adjustable damping they are only ride height adjustable.

Now comparing all three kits I would lean more towards the PSS10s, adjustable damping plus Bilstein great warranty is a win win.

Thanks for the info. I think the pss10s are going to be my choice. I just wish I could see a pic of them at their lowest ride height.

Anyone?

I do not have enough personal experience with the PSS10's. Sounds like the KW V2s are more comparable.
