Sleeve Kit or KW V3 - EDC
Would there be any benifit to purchasing a used KW V3 setup vs. just going with the sleeve kit?
I have EDC and go to the Nurburgring every once in a while, but most of my driving is on the street. I don't mind a stiffer suspension (had H&R race springs on my 08), but also like having the EDC option. Is there really any reason to spend the extra $700 or so on a used V3 setup or just stick with the sleeve over kit?

If you like EDC, there are really no other options. Springs or Sleeve kit.
I don't think the V3s are worth 3.5X the price (new) vs the sleeves. If you're going for a track set-up I hear its best to skip the V3s and do clubsports or JRZ or something like that. |

Well there is a 3rd option that you didn't mention, but will provide EDC like capabilities. It's the DDC setup, which is the V3 with 3 preset damper settings - full soft, full hard and something inbetween. It's expensive though, so not really a valid option when comparing it to the sleeve or used v3, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

I like the EDC, but am willing to give it up if the V3s are really worth the sacrifice. Is it worth it though?
