My opinion is that both the KW V2's and UAS are amazing. You decision always come down to the look your after. Pick your look and stick with it as long as your happy when your driving it!!!!

I had the eibach pro kit springs and they are not a good combo with the stock struts/shocks. Any more than lowering the 300 maybe a inch and you have to buy new stuts/shocks. I bought the eibach prostreet coilovers last week(same as KWv1) and really like them. Zero bottoming out now, can go over bumpy roads and not a single issue. Before it was so bad with the eibach springs and stock shocks, I would have to almost stop at potholes. The total cost for the coilover kit was 1,100 and $160 install at a shop. Well worth the money and I am sure the v2 is that much better. Right now I have the coilovers set to the same appox 2 1/2 inches lowering as with the springs before, but I am going to lift it another inch. Not for any issues except to solve centering on speed bump. Do it right the first time and skip springs and go straight to coilovers. In the end it will save you $.

I think if it were me I would go with UAS as I would want that ease and flexibility of adjusting my ride height…..especially around parking stops and low driveways! So I would copycat DUBSTER!! Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!

I have the eibach sportslines give a 2" drop with stock springs/struts and I have yet to have an issue with them. They have been in my car since may 2006 and I have never bottomed out or anything that the guys with the pro kits have been having trouble with. Granted I can feel every bump in the road but never have I bottomed out. I know that my shocks will eventually go but some of the people with the pro kits had to replace the stock shocks/struts a month or 2 after installing the springs.

Im putting the mopar lowering springs on either this weekend or the next....


I'll let everyone know about the ride, lifespan of the shocks and post pics when its done....

Worst case scenerio....I'll get the eibach dampeners if my shocks wear prematurely....

It will be like having the KWV1's, but with the ability to pay in 2 payments...300 now....600 later.....!

Well I guess the question to the answer would be:

How do you drive?
What kind of roads do you drive on?
How much green you got for the machine?

IMHO the UAS offers the most adaptability and flexibilty for the cash...
