    DC5 KW V1 or V2 coilovers discussion

    Hi guys,

    I’m looking to purchase a set of KW V1 OR V2 coilovers for my 2006 DC5 Type S. I am aware that the only difference between V1 and V2 is that the V1 coilovers come with preadjusted dampening settings from factory, whereas the V2 coilovers allow you to adjust the dampening settings from soft to hard. I intend to drive my car on the street for the rest of its life, and will unlikely track the car. The only reason as to why I am not purchasing the V1 is because I enjoy a slightly stiffer ride, and I am afraid that the V1 will come preadjusted with dampening settings that are too soft and therefore too bouncy over road bumps and what not. Has anyone had any experience with the KW V1 coilovers for DC5, and was it too bouncy for a daily ride? I know that is a subjective question obviously, however I would like a few opinions before choosing between the V1 and V2. I will most likely go with the V2 given the subjectivity of the issue.

    Thanks in advance!

      No experience on KW stuff, but I'd go with the V2. It's nice to have the ability to tune the dampers to your liking. And who knows, you might actually end up taking the car to the track one day.
