Default Whatdayathink? Variant 3's or STaSIS StreetSport coilover kit?

and the only reason I ask is because the v3s are going to run me 2k installed where the STaSIS will be around 1200.

I think I am comparing apple to oranges because I know the v3s are better just trying to upgrade old v1s without breaking the bank...

Thoughts?

Stick with your V1's unless they are shot. More than adequate for 90+% of TT drivers

Default maybe get them rebuilt (might be tough logistically)

but that would be cheaper than anything.

The V1s have plastic spring perches (where others are aluminum), have no-name ALKO dampers vs Koni or Bilstein, etc.So I would rather upgrade then rebuilt them...

If you don't track the car - V3's are overkill
