Assuming both could be Obtained for a similar price, which would you pick for 99% Road driven S2k not a daily driver as such but weekend spirited driving a potentially a very rare track day.?

Any opinions welcome!

Never been in a car with KWs..
But chose the DVF as pot hole friendly,also ease of single adjustability as I am no suspension expert,the valve expands to get same damping hot or cold,i like that same consistent feedback feeling from the damping in all climates,5c or 20c they just feel the same..
Set them yesterday for a cruse around with the top down 15F 16R from full hard<5mins job>let tyres down to 30psi cold<Federal 595RSR> and is a Very smooth ride and still very pointy when needed,
<10 is amazing for spirited,as Ohlins manual recommends>
Think am going try 16F 17R ,my 74 year old mother felt it a little uncomfortable 12/13,
She complained with the OEM dampers with Eibach,as I have to agree a tad hard and made the car was very sensitive on the rough roads around Norfolk,and kind of scary spirited driving !!<with no 74yr old>
lots of reviews on Urge designs site and that kind of sold it for me,
I Suggest have a ride to compare if possible and go from there.

Edit:Now Rear Bias 11R/12F from full stiff,04 MY

I don't know anything about Ohlins DFV's, however, I did 750 miles last weekend on the Megameet in Scotland over a right mix of roads with lots of spirited driving and the car handled superb on KW V3's.

Not uncomfortable in the slightest (otherwise I would have had lots of earache given that the wife was with me ) and they dealt with everything that the Scottish roads could muster up with ease

The Ohlins are more road focused than KWV3. They're also monotube construction which is superior. My old car was superb on Ohlins, much better than OEM, so good I ordered some for my Evo IX.

The Bilstein PSS9 are also an excellent road-based choice. Lower spring rates than the others and a nice simple choice of 9 settings.

I think you'd be happy with any of the 3, though.

I know that Mike(Jerry Attric) finds his Ohlins a bit too stiff for his liking. His preference could be very different to yours though.......

My Ohlins are great on long commutes. It's the Recaro seat which gets to me first.

Both will be adequate.
