Most people that track their car often will tell you the V3's are too soft and to go with the Tarmac II's instead. The Tarmac II's are V3's with stiffer valving and stiffer springs so you're still getting an awesome product. When I finally bite the bullet and buy coilovers they'll be at the top of my list.

The Tarmac 0's are more comparable to a KW V1, but with stiffer valving and springs. Still a great product, but if you're tracking a couple times a month I'd opt for something more track oriented.

I originally went with the Stance COs because of the good reviews throughout the forum and the crazy low price w/ camber plates. At full soft they're stiff as hell, completely not comfortable for the street unless every road is smooth.

After a couple weeks of trying to adjust them to make them bearable, I gave up and got the RCE T2s. I'm using the stock top hats and the street ride is quite good. I wouldn't compromise on this again - save up, get the RCEs.

I'm running the Tarmac II's and love them so far. Quite a few members of ft86Vancouver have taken them for a spin so you can ask on our FB page for feedback. If you want to try them out, I'm out in Langley until the end of the month (Then permanently in Calgary).
