KWv3 Rebuild or try something new?
So my car is currently riding on KWv3's (515lbs Front/Rear Springs) that need a rebuild. I have used these coils for about 65,000 daily driven miles. My car is currently very low and doesn't see any track days or autocross. I will and do go on mountain runs and stay in "spirited driving" mode.
I am wanting a coilover that is well built, has good height adjustablility and will perform on the street at low ride height's. I am also going to order new roll center adjusters, sway bars and ball joints to help the coilovers work better.
I am wanting some opinons from anyone running very low ride heights on BC Racing Coil's, Tein Mono Flex's, or Buddy Club Racing Specs.
Also, Do you think it would be better for me to just have KW rebuild my V3's or buy something else?
-Thanks in advance

KW wants $125 per side to rebuild.
The other thing I am concerned with is spring preload. The other coilovers are height adjustable using the shock body and not the spring mounting perch. Would think that would be better, but If anyone knows a why around this on the KW's with out compressing the spring to much (like a shorter spring or may be not using the helper spring).

if low ride is your priority - V3 is good in this apsect as they're built for low.
their MAX position is 1" lower than stock
i had Monoflex and now V3 - no question V3 dump better.
their softers springs allow more body roll than most of other entry level coilovers - but they're much more drivable.
