Couldn't help reply after reading this thread lol.
Coilovers are essentially a "Coil over a Shock Absorber", so think logically.
It is a Coil, over a Shock, aka COIL OVER. The difference realistically is the coilovers have a different dampening rate usually compared to a normal shock as they are for a 'sports ride' and give more flexibility with the double spring setup on the coil for certain kits.
So if you go Koni Yellow and Combined them with a kw spring, h&r spring, eibach spring or custom spring it would realistically be the same as coil over setup as a v1 or v1 on most brands.
KW and Weitec come from the same factory. You will find that KW's are stainless due to the salt on the roads in Europe, where certain lines including Weitec are galvanised. For Australian road conditions they are beyond more than enough. I have had KW V2s, driving with v3's, clubsports and v1's .. and currently have Weitec V2s you could call them and they feel no different to my friends S3 with his kw V1's except firmer (as mine are set to almost completely firm)
If i had the choice in FK, AP or something cheaper;
From cheapest to most costly;
Koni yellow+ springs of your choice for height (kw, h&r, eibach, weitecs)
Weitecs
Bilsteins
KW
And unless you are tracking your car every week, and you have Corner Balanced your car, done complete weight reduction (seats out etc). Why does everyone worry SO much about what "coil over" they get, its almost amusing and 'trend' orientated vs common sense.
