best coilovers or are eibachs good enough

Who has the best price on v2 or v3?
Is there a big difference bet ween the two?

Are eibachs comparable for ride quality and handling?

Looking for a mild drop but don't want to ruin ride.

Look into the KW HAS kit.

KWS V3 is best alround kit for our cars.

Cheaper alternaive is H&R's, I have them and am very happy with the look and feel - rounds here in OZ are far from perferct and the ride isn't noticably different from stock but stance is improved- i.e gap to wheels is near perfect unless you want a slammed ride.

I may upgrade to K3's as they were perfect on my GT3, more comfort and better control!

Garage List
+1 on the KW H.A.S. System. I ran the KW V3 on my old GT3 and they had so much adjustability that I couldn't never figure them out. Compression, rebound, etc. WTF The result was I kept breaking strut mounts from improper coilover set ups. Years later talking with other people w KW V3 I was told not to ride with it slammed to lowest settings. This was most likely my issue. To much adjustability for me. However the ride of V3 was so smooth and predictable. KW HAS system is the shit for a lot less money same ride.
