Of course, you don't have that much opportunities like you have with a KW V3 - but do you really need this? I personally know so many people who aren't able to make an own setup. They always drive with recommendend settings they get by their garage or their dealer after installation. The Bilstein is more easy. Just click harder or softer and you will always have a proper setup. You don't need a car jack to reach any adjusting. KW V3 and M Performance coilover have the rebound adjustment at the top - that's why you need a car jack at the rear end to reach the adjustment.
For me, the Bilstein has a wider spectrum compared to the KW V3 or M Performance. Because of its upside down build, it is much more sensible and it is working very good on the road and on the track. After several cars with KW suspension, I am actually very glad to have the Bilstein in my car.
