I am not sure that the KW3 are an "upgrade" are concerned on a car that had MSRP of more than a $100k way back when. People report all sorts of transformations with that swap and my guess would be that: a) placebo effect b) there is indeed an improvement but at some kind of tradeoff most people do not realize or will never experience (high/top speed stability maybe?) c) there is indeed an improvement but it is mainly about adjustability such as camber (I assume KW3 allow for more negative camber up front) rather than quality of shocks or superior damper/spring tuning/matching. Or maybe a combination of the above.
