Best price on set of KW V3 Coilovers or Ridetech for FE4 Suspension

What's the best price I can get my hands on a set of KW V3 or Ridetech for the FE4 Suspension.

$1,800-1,900 possible?

Thanks

Every Shock Company I know of works on MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) or Colgate (Unilateral Policy) to insure that their products are sold at a Minimum Price. Under-cutting those prices result in losing the privilege of selling their Products.

I sell KW's, but I can't discount them

Ya, feel like the Camaro can ride better. Maybe I'm just picky. Back n forth between the KWs and Ridetech.

I really wish I knew which one was better. I have read some Issues with Ridetech. KW haven't found any negative things on here. Leaning towards KW.

I also wish I knew if it's worth to spend the extra money on the V3 versus the V1.

I have KW v3. They are nice. On track performes well above one would expect for 1800 coil overs. on stiff setting I often am asking myself if Germans don't like down travel or ever heard of it for that matter. Never tried any soft or cushy. I am low and stiff and run a wicked alignment for any street use. I would bet v3 is way overkill unless track car

I want zero bounce. Will the V1 get low without being bouncy on there fixed preset setting. Or V3 recommend. The car is daily driver. I might go once to autocross and drag strip for length I own the car. I want sporty feel but comfortable without bounce over larger bumps/dips and no bobble head effect at low speeds coming to street lights.

Unfortunately I don't see these anywhere for $1,800 (V3 version).
