KW V2 Vs H&R with Adjustable Koni Yellows

Anyone have any input on these? I am trying to decide between spending the extra money to get the V2 kit or get the H&R Sport springs with the Koni yellow adjustable shocks. I know some guys on here have the V2 on their 202 so just trying to get some opinions and real world input. I track the car occasionally and plan to autocross often. Comfort is in no way priority here performance is (to an extent). TIA

Not having tried the H&R and Koni Yellows, my reply is biased as I have the V2 setup. I just love it. The only drawback is on 18" the suspension is a bit harsh despite the shocks adjusted soft. Perhaps the roads around here need refurbishing, but on the highway, the ride is smooth. IMO I wouldn't want anything different.

What are the price differences between these two setups?

How do they perform though? I know it's supposed to be a good mix between performance and comfort but I'm willing to give up some comfort for chassis control. I had Bilstein B8's and H&R Supersports before and whenever you'd push the car it would rotate too much to me and the back end wouldn't stay flat.

There is about a thousand dollar difference 😬
