I didn't realize asking a simple question would be met with such harsh criticism? I am competent enough to know my limits knowledge wise and I will definitely get help dialing it in for my needs. My question was more for opinions to see what people were experiencing good or bad and not to help me make a decision!
I'm not giving you a hard time or being overly critical of what you want to do... it's a question that, in reality, answers the "pros and cons" of what you are looking for when it comes to KW V3.

Without even using them, the pros and cons are sort of overlapping:

- lack of upper camber plate (which is both good and bad dependent on user)
- 2-way adjustment (again, good AND bad depending on who the user is)... more isn't necessarily better, but if you know how to tune and dial in suspension, you can benefit from this
- high quality (high cost)
- superior shock design (high cost)
etc etc

I know lots of people like these coilovers, I used to be down that road with Endless/Zeal suspension for a long time, then moving onto KG/mm coilovers for my S13. The added adjustment of KG/mm versus my Zeal Function B6 (6-way adjustment only) made a tiny difference, but in the end it didn't suit my driving needs.

In any case, if you have it figured out then the pros/cons you should already know.
