Suspension change - opinions please
All- I have been looking for a new or used set of Olhins SL's (Or aka Stasis Challenge kit) to no avail. I am also in need of new brakes and am trying to get these items taken care of at the same time. Since I can not seem to find my desired setup, I am now considering the following; KW V3's @ ($2.5k) and the Olhins Motorsports @ ($6k~) .
Now the cost of the Ohlins is obviously my hold-up with that setup, otherwise this would be a no-brainer. My hold-up with the KW's is the reported issues with sqeaking and the difference in ride characteristics between it and my desired Olhins kit.
I am not planning on tracking the car, just some spirited driving, so I thought I would reach out to see what this collective might have to say to aid my decision. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Do you (or anyone for that matter) have a recomendation for the settings to avoid the reported "bounce" problem which happens at highway speeds with the Bilstein PSS9 when going over humps? I and am going to give this setup a chance due to fact that I can not seem to track down an Ohlin sl or ms setup new or used currently. I have read in one of the forums that if you set the PSS9's to the stiffest setting it alviates the reported extra bounce. Any and all thoughts are greatly appreciated. -d
