honestly, if you have to ask, then you'd be perfectly happy with V1s or V2s.


for a daily driver, I'd probably just get V1s and save some cash.

I would even say KW V1. KW has perfectly matched springs and dampers and they are known to be daily driving focused as opposed to other coilovers which are more track focused. For daily driving you really don't need the adjustments.
