hey guys...i am going to autoX my car...and i was just wondering wut coilover system i should use...

I voted for PSS9, since I got it for the same reason - easy adjustability
for various situations (like different road conditions, autoX, commute,
etc). PSS9 is AFAIK the only one that you can adjust dampening w/o
taking rear strut off the car, which is often times a big hassle unless
you have all tools at home (or your own shop). TEIN even has remote
controller that you can adjust dampening at the comfort of driver's seat
but I don't think it's available for R32.

The KW V3's also easily can be adjusted and the rears do not have to be removed to adjust them.
Also on the V3's unlike the PSS9's you can independently adjust the rebound and compression separately . http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif You can definitely set these to your driving style and needs
I have V3's on my GTI Vr6 and there are awesome. I highly recomend them. I also have had plenty of driving time with KW V3 equipped R32's http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

I have a question about adjustable coilovers: when you buy a single adjustable coilover or shock (KW V2s, PSS9s, Koni Yellows, etc) when you turn the adjustment knob are you adjusting both compression and rebound simultaneously, or is rebound always fixed and you are only changing compression. I know with KW V3s and others you can adjust the two circuits independently, but I'm wondering about the single adjustable version.
Thanks.
