KW V1's vs. KW V2's ?

I thought I read this once before but can't find it again after searching for the past 2 hours.

What's the difference between the V1's and V2's? Anybody know???

I could be wrong, but I think it's the adjustable dampening.

V2's have the ability to change the dampening. The V1's dont. they are both adjustable. if you wont mess with the dampening, as most members report they dont, go with the V1's and save some cash

Yup, I was right:

Variant 1 sportive - harmonic with KW factory pre-set up dampening

The ideal systems for customers wishing to rely on the experience of our engineers yet determine their own degree of lowering. In extensive driving tests our engineers have set the dampers for the best balance between sporty driving, comfort and safety.

Optimally adjusted, sporty and comfortable dampening technology
inox-line stainless steel technology at no extra charge
Individually height adjustable
German TUEV-tested lowering range
High-quality components for long life
Comprehensive documentation for ease of use
Spring rates (lbs/inch or Progressive Spring): Front=500 / Rear=855


Variant 2 sporty and personalized with adjustable rebound damping

The system intended for the experienced driver who requires to not only determine the individual lowering of their vehicle, but adjust the damper setting to fine tune the system to their needs. The adjustable rebound damper allows adjustment of the pitch and roll behavior of the vehicle, adapting it to ones own driving preferences.

Damping technology with individually adjustable rebound
inox-line stainless steel technology at no additional charge
Individually height adjustable
German TUEV-tested adjustment parameters
High-quality components for long life
Comprehensive documentation for ease of use
Infinitely adjustable rebound damping

Spring rates (lbs/inch or Progressive Spring): Front 500 / Rear 855

OK smarty pants! Let's just say I want a set for my SRT. Is this something that I can easily change my ride height with for winter when the 18" Blizzaks go on?

I was leaning tword the Hotchkiss springs and sways. Does KW make sways?
