I've heard many good things about the Vogtland coilovers so far. I know it's known as excellent coilover for the value.
But if i have money to buy KW V3 coilovers....should i get them? or rather get the Vogtlands?
TIA

Seriously considering the KW's.

The main thing that keeps me from getting coilovers is all that wonderfully machined aluminum. Winter ice and salt does a great job of corroding the threads and lockrings. Sure, you can slather on all sorts of anti-seize, but I don't know. The KW's are available in stainless-steel. They are probably heavier than I'd like, but they won't corrode into worthless crap after one winter. I'd like to drop to about 30mm below stock in the summer, and then bring it back up for winter. I have no feedback on the KW's yet... few seem to have them on their car.
