I had Ohlins R&T coilovers on my last car with stiff spring rates, and while they were very nice, I never used the adjustments, and hated the ride.

The Ohlins might be a good choice if you want to spend more for a better coilover.

The KW V3 offers adjustability, and I think the same softer spring rates as the ST's for I think $2200.
lets just sit and think about that for a little bit...

im no expert but i agree you get what you pay for however ST coils seem to be good for the money or fortune auto.
