Smile KW v1 or v2 compare to the stock setup??

I posted to the supporting vendor, but I think I'll get more answers from the group in general that have both these type of coilovers/V1/V2

I have a couple of questions.

1) I don't know about dampering but is their a big difference in handling between the KW V1 and the V2, is V1 about the same handling as the current stock shocks setup, where V2 you would be able to customise your handling/roll performance?

2) Do the V1 and V2 have the same adjustable drop distance? I live in Japan and I want to drop my 300C, but when car inspection comes around I need to adjust it back up to pass the inspection. I would like to be able to drop anywhere between 1.5" to 2.0".

I'm trying to decide to get the KW V1 or the V2 versions of the coilover.

Thanks...

The v1s are height adjustable only. The v2s are both height and dampening. I have the v2s on my srt8 and she rides much better and handles so much tighter. I also did the hotckis sways at the same time. Overall she rides smoother then stock and I am dropped fairly low.
