Sorry if this is repetitive but wanted to get some feedback on the KW variant 3 setup for 944t. Mostly street some track days. I like the idea of adjustability.

How does it compare with say the bilstein cup setup, its much less than the highend adjustable stuff?

from all accounts its well above the bilstien cups and more comparable to PSS9 wich I'm not sure you can get for a 944 .
I'm putting Bilsteins on my car but that will be with rebuilt S2 fronts and second hand cup rears ( total spend 900us$). I found you can use Golf front bilstens as well so you can do bilsteins cheap from the parts bin as there is more of it around . but to buy a set of coilovers it seems nothing comes close to KW's everyone who has them is ex tactic

I have bilstein's on my car but haven't finished the car yet. To be honest the JW etc.. seem like a huge hassle and you will have to spend a bunch of time getting them set right.

The KW V3's are awesome and have no peer.

The Bilstein Cup are impossibly stiff for the road.
The KW will be far better suited to your projected use.
