Default I don't believe anyone has ever compared the two . . .

but the PSS9's offer 9 way adjustable dampers, that adjust both compression and rebound. The PSS9's use Bilstein Dampers and springs.

The KW's use Koni dampers but I don't know if they use adjustable dampers.

I don't know anything else about the KW's.

Default PSS9's use Bilstein Dampers and Gruber springs, the KW Variant II's use Koni's (soon to use Alko)

dampers and i'm not sure who make KW springs. The Variant II's are adjustable - but for rebound dampening only. You also have to unbolt the bottom of the rear shocks on the KW's to adjust.

Default I have only seen the Variant 1, was not impressed with the quality of the components at all

I cna't comment on the Variant 2. But I plan on getting PSS9's for better control of the setup.

Default See if you can find a store with the V2's and see what they look like

I was just telling you about the Variant 1's I saw.

I don't want to get yelled at by anyone for steering you towards something you might have wanted to get.
