I know what you are saying about not wanting to go full Coilover route nick after evos etc with them on! BUT
A freind of mine has KW Varient 3's and i have been in/driven it back to back with mine! All i can say is WOW! The ride is no harder if anything a little softer. The car looks mint with the lower ride height and the feel is amazing, it turns in so much better than standard and zero understeer!. Can get this full kit for £1k aswell!
Mine will be fitted some time in Jan i hope!
