Default TEIN or KW?

Has anyone ran both setups before?
The car is a daily driver, 99% street 1% track =P.

Originally I went to a local shop and they recommended the Tein Flex setup ($1900 installed and aligned which sounds a bit expensive for entry level Teins?). I talked to my EVO buddy who tracks alot and he was pushing the KW V3s.

One concern I have with the V3s is that it'll be overkill for me in terms of needing 3-way adjustability. I have read great things about the ride quality and all.

Any suggestions?

i just ordered my kw v3 and waiting for the to come in! ill post up and tell you how they are!

but i can tell u that the tein flex for $1900 is wayyyy too much unless that includes the EDFC. i got my KW v3 for 1850 SHIPPED brand new.

i know the v3 is a higher end coilover then the flex.... so $1900 is wayyy too much

i had tein's on my old supra, and the quality is not as good as the kw's. i know it is a different car altogether, but the kw's i now have on my S feel soo much more solid.
