KW V1's vs. KW V2's ?

[MADDOG`]

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???

[CplDaugherty]

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:

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?
