Your answer might help some of us give some better technical advice.

I am a daily driver just to and from work (about 15 miles round trip) w/ the occasional road trip. I swore I would never bag a ride again after a terrible experience w/ my f-150, buy man 2k for the KW (including install) makes me second guess myself......................

http://www.hennesseyperformance.com is their web site

How about a review please? Driveability, handling, ease of adjustment.

I went from the Eibach pro-kit to the KW variant 2's and the difference is night and day. the car drives like a dream again.. no banging around on short springs & stock shocks running where they weren't meant to. Cornering is even better than the gains of the eibach setup and the adjustable damper actually provides noticeable differences, I have ended up with mine set around the mid point of the tight to bouncy adjustment range. Even my friends noticed immediately that the ride had smoothed out considerably when I had the KW's installed.

For everyone complaining about the price, I stated in my previous post that I paid less than what Hennessey's website says (and quite a bit less than what K&W's web site says). The system is not cheap but I would definitely do it again, one of the best/most useful mods I've done.

I agree with Pixel 100%, this system is superior.
