questions about suspension kw, eibach, h&r, air suspension

need some help on suspension. My situation is that i really want to get the UAS kit on my 300. but im not sure if spending close to $3500 to buy the kit installed is worth it. Until i make a decision... i want to have a plan B. first of all... i hate having a gap between my fender and wheels. so i thought about getting lowering springs and i noticed a lot of people have eibach or h&r springs. and i noticed that others also have the kw coilovers. can you guys give me info on these kw coilovers. price? how much it lowers to? is it easy to adjust? how does comfort compare to stock? is it a bumpy ride? can u also give me info on comfort levels on eibach sportline, eibach pro, and h&r springs. my tires are 265/35/22. my wheels are 22x9.5. i really hate the gap in between my fenders and wheels but at the same time... i dont want to give up the ride comfort. so basically.... i want to know what the best kit is with a lowered look and still a comfortable ride. i know i will have to give up some comfort but which is the best kit. right now im leaning towards the kw kit so try to give as much info on those as possible because the kit being adjustable.... i know i can raise it up if im carrying a big load. but are there any drawbacks into getting the kw kit? any info will be greatly appreciated. thanks

The best non-group KWv2 price I have seen is $1,399 from here
Stripper Motorsports | Diablo Tuners, K&N Cold Air Intakes, Flowmaster Exhaust, Mopar
I paid $400 to have them installed at a tire/alignment shop.

KW says the drop range is 0.8" to 2.1"
KW automotive North America Inc. Suspension -- Coilovers -- Shocks -- Springs

After the KWv2 install, it is a piece of cake to readjust the front coilovers height, but the rears are a real pain to readjust the height. The rears will require dropping the rear axle/cradle.

The ride is a tad stiffer than stock, but in a good way. The rebound/bounce is much quicker/shorter. The KWv2's really improves the car's handling and ride.
