Default ohlins vs kw

I had KW V3s on my M6 and absolutely loved them. The car had superior road compliance whilst increasing general performance. I've never had ohlins before. Can someone tell me which is a superior system for the GT3. Please consider this is my daily driver.

Cheers

The GT3 isn't an M6. Why would you buy a GT3 and change the spectacular suspension? What makes you think for the street that anything aftermarket would be better? Based on your other posts, I think you're likely to be happier with the PDCC suspension in the Turbo S.

for DD the 991GT3 even the RS is super fine.

had/have KW V3. really good if well setup! but not needed not that "better in any way" than the 991 stock suspension.
you get even Gewinde and enough champer possibility so...

What / in which you want to enhance? the only possibility i see is full race (competition 3way i would go) or rally.

Based on his other posts, I think he wants a softer ride. If you're not tracking the car, and find the suspension too stiff, I see no reason to keep the GT3 and not switch to a TT or TTS. The PDCC suspension is wonderful.

I agree! you hit the nail on the head. but I do really enjoy RWD and 9,000 RPMS. I guess you cant have it all

honestly, I find it hard to find a place to legally go to 9000rpm on a public road. I had the PDCC on my 991S and I loved it. I would highly recommend it.
