Default KW Coilovers

What do you think of KW Variant 3 Coilovers as I need some thing more compliant than my bc's to many pot holes.

I have just bought a set of BuddyClubs RSD's, however the owner of one of Britains best Subaru tuning shops did say to me that he would highly recommend the KW 3's, and he does not sell them so he had nothing to gain by making this recommendation

Excellent fast road dampers, and compliant due to their bypass valve: but damned expensive! Theyd cost over £1,500 fitted on my car (in question, not a Subaru, and itd need its rear torsion bars re-indexing) and a good £1,200 to buy; so I have GAZ.

As above, expensive but ultimately worth it

I was lucky enough to be passenger'd on track in a Skoda VRS fitted with KW3's, the way it handled and rode the kerbs was very impressive, compared to my Teins.
