I've had lots of experience with KW V1's and they're very good,  comfortable but handling is improved massively and very well made. Can't compare to others since I haven't tried them but I struggle to imagine anything for that price can be much better.

No that's the V3's (the fully adjustable ones) which you really don't need unless you track loads.

Bilstien B14 gets my vote. Use the search box and read around, loads already on the forum about this.

30mm to 50mm from the B14's. If lower is your goal, while still being alright to live with, consider H&R Ultralows.

B14 vote here too  :happy2:

Running them on mine and very happy with them

Had kw v1 on my Gti but would by the bilsteins again, nice firm ride without being crashy and comfy enough for everyday driving too
