I tried several brands like teins fz/mono, hks sp, bilstein, aragosta and Kw. Amoung them, Kw is my favorite. It has two features that suprise me.
First it maintains the comfort feeling like the stock suspension. On rough road, the body would stuck to the ground and would not bounce like bilstein/aragosta/hks sp.
Imho you are doing mistake associating single coilover from big lineup with brand in general. They all make both softer/more compliant and high spring rates ones for motorsport and completely custom ones (and more expensive) to customer specs and with varying amount of adjustment.


If stock like compliance needed, i guess i'd go for MY2017 shocks set or Bilstein B6.
But you also mentioned lowering. Hmm, probably i'd go for Tein Flex A.
KW V3 imho is a bit overpriced, and you wrote that you probably don't need it's multi way adjustability.
KW V1 vs ST .. yes, i guess finish / rust durability / price might be what sets appart and if you live in non winter-salt & dry environment, ST might be of better price-performancy.
