Yes and no. They aren't simply rebranded, there are definitely a few differences, one of which is that the V3's can go much lower. I've seen a ton of people with the MP coils who have had to remove perches/helper springs etc. because the car sat to high for their liking and they couldn't go as low as they would have liked. The KW's do not have this problem and have a much larger adjustment range. So if a large height range is important to you and you don't want to start removing or modifying things the V3's are better in that regard.

Also I'm pretty sure the springs rates are different between the two. And obviously the color and the fact that one is an official M performance part and the other is considered aftermarket.
