Unless someone has installed both systems in their car, I doubt any answer you get will be objective. Even driving two cars side-by-side is not a good comparison unless they have exactly the same geometry, tires, mileage, bushings, etc..etc...
I have the KW Club Sport (recently upgraded from V3) and am very happy with it but my requirements might be different from yours.
Just curious...which the forum thinks is the better set up for our cars...the 10's or the Var3's???
definitely KW V3
i "love" the purple spring mounts..................
i currently have P10's
sorta wish i would have bought the V3's
the best thing about P10's = ability to tune handling characteristics for various AX tracks
the worst thing = harsh ride even when set to soft
KW's? should have same + more adjustability, compression AND rebound
and
rumored to be "less harsh" when set to soft.
I'm close to selling my P10s to a friend and getting the V3s
If you ask this same question on a UK based forum, betcha most people would say K3 is the way to go.

I have PSS10s on my C2. I run the compression/rebound at 4 clicks F and 5 clicks R. I use the car primarily for spirited driving. In my opinion, the PSS10s are not harsh. I would characterize the PSS10s as firm but compliant. As a comparison, I have a Stasis StreetSport suspension my my B5 Audi S4. I set the C/R in the middle of th adjustable range. Now this suspension is harsh.
I've got the older PSS9s on my 95 and LOVE them. I would say they offer a great ride (mine are set on 4 all around, 1 being the stiffest) and greeat wheel control. My 97 currently has H&Rs/Bilstein HDs and I find the setup less than ideal. Can be a bit harsh over sharper bumps and seemingly less wheel control than the PSS9s. I'm going to be replacing this setup with KW V3s in the near future. I know, not much help now.
