Unmatched?

I would save up for the KW V3's if it's going to be primarily a street car, the valving is pretty good. The Scion FRS Formula D car is great, but it's not running V3's, it's using high end KW competition dampers.

If it is mainly daily driver, with the occasional track use, I would suggest to wait for Bilstein PSS if coilover is in mind.

KW V3 is nice, but it is in my opinion overkill for the OP's need. For the money of V3 I would try to buy few suspension components to go with the coilover, instead of just coilover.

This is the setup I would suggests either all in one go, or step by step:
1. Bilstein PSS or similar (KW V1 for example, is also a good buy)
2. Cusco camber plate (for wheel alignment purposes)
3. Adjustable endlinks (for swaybar tuning purposes)
4. Swaybars (select moderate up-size, not too big)

Spend on proper wheel alignment to tie everything together.

I use basically the same setup as above for my ZZT Celica, and the car was used for daily drive, road trip and race circuit. Tons of fun.

It is still early, and i do suggest you wait until theres more available.

But if you want one right now, and if you want the best then kw v3 is it.

If not, then the cusco would be ok too. Just make sure you get one that can be fitted or come with camber plate to dial in proper wheel alignment.
