Does KW make a V3 for the FD?

I've been trying to figure out if KW makes a V3 coilover for the FD. If not, does anyone have other opinions on a coilover that has full rebound AND compression adjustment with a remote reservoir?... other than Ohlins, and I want to stay away from Penskes.

Thanks!

After a bit of reading I'm starting to lean towards the ZEAL Function X. Does anyone run these in either a 6/8 or 8/10 spring rate? Does ZEAL custom valve them if you want to run spring rates other than thier "recommended" ones?

I want to stick to Howard Colemans adivce and go no farther then a 8/10 rate. His write up is for a track car, and my car will mostly be used for Solo 1 and Autocross. I think that a 8/10 would be a good balance between the lower rates needed for track and higher rates for AutoX?

Can anyone chime in and throw a bit of advice my way. Even if you have another option for coils. $ is not an issue, but I would prefer to stay away from Ohlins/Penske/Moton $$$$$$ setups.

How about the 3 way adjustable Stances? Thier priced close to the Zeals, how do they compare?

Thanks!

I have KW V3's on my G37 and I probably wouldn't get them again. They do ride very nice, but I really don't like that they don't come with upper pillows on the front. I'd go Fortune Auto if I could again, great customer service, more modular, and options in general.
