Adjustable damping, softer springs than the Tarmacs, but mainly the adjustable damping. You can go as low as you want on them and still make them ride nice. Then when you're ready for a performance drive, track, you can go a few clicks harder and stiffen it up. This is what separates them from the ST's, Tarmac 0's, and any of the height adjustable only coilovers. Once you start lowering those, the lack of adjustability with the damping makes the round bouncier because of the longer travel.

KW vs RCE, KW typically has softer springs than RCE. RCE is more track focused purely than ride quality. The Tarmac 2's are the KW V3's with stiffer springs.

its hard to find affordable and well made coils. Id say the cheapest you can find for a some what decent coilover set would be either BCs or Ksports. Both have dampening and height adjustment and front camber adjustment. Good for a daily driver and track days every now and then. Both are going to run you about 1k. I just ordered Ksports myself.

ST's are amazing for the price, I finally got mine on yesterday and they ride fantastic. They're made by KW and have the same valving/rates as KWv1's (same rates as v3 as well) just constructed with a different material.

I'm dropped to about a finger gap all around and they ride great, feels like a slightly tighter/firmer setup than stock but still very comfortable. If you shop around you can get them for $750-800 which is really cheap.

So I'm clear, it's not possible to run these with stock suspension and spacers?
