Default KW Coilovers

Anybody have any experience with KW coilovers? I've been looking around for some suspension to give my car a better stance while still keeping a comfortable ride. I was leaning towards Teins but I decided to see if there was anything better. A shop I went to told me that considering what I'm looking for, the KWs would be better buy than Teins. I'm not sure if they're just trying to get me to buy them so any input would help me out.

KW is really well known and they are really good coilover, but pricy

Usually, they are well known for european cars.

You can hit me up if you want a price quote.

they are better than Tein. They are well known for providing the suspension on many of the winning cars at Le Mans. They are no joke. Tein is no joke either, but I dont think they provide set ups for cars at the Le Mans level
