I have Koni Sports and some prokit springs on my '14 GT right now, but I like having ride height adjustability among other things offered by various "coilovers". I put that in quotes because I'm not really looking for a true coilover, but what I'm considering are things like the Ground Control setup or KW V3 (I can get a smoking deal on these, which is a factor).
I've had countless sets of standard Koni dampers on various cars, and I trust them to be durable and reliable on a street car. I've also had other more expensive setups such as AST, and even on cars that see relatively little street use, I haven't had the best luck with the durability on the street. That's ok, and understandable, as some of these dampers are meant to live on race cars which see a somewhat different environment sometimes.
I guess my question is, does anybody have experience withe KW V3 package on the street? How do they stand up to the elements and typical street driving? I don't even plan to autocross (much) or track this car, so I don't want to waste money on dampers that will have problems in street use. That said, I only drive 8k to 10k miles per year right now, and that gets split between two or three vehicles. The Mustang will see about 4k to 5k per year. I might hit a few local autocrosses if I get a proper suspension setup, but I'm looking at getting back into autocrossing with a dedicated car other than my Mustang. Any input is appreciated.
