Default Suspension upgrade advice

Here's pretty much another thread asking which setup is the best bang for your buck. I just purchased another S last night and I don't care for the stock suspension at all. I use to own an S a couple years ago and had a set of K Sports on the car and it felt much better than the ride I'm getting now.

So, I'm considering the Bilsteins because they give a softer ride than the KW V3s. I'm using this car as daily driver (for now) and maybe an occasional mountain run or autoX event. Again, this will be mostly for daily driving use so a softer ride quality is more important to me than anything else.

I want to stay under $1500, I think I should be able to find something that fits my description with this amount.

Can anyone chime in on what may be a good suspension setup for daily driving, other than the pss9s? I'm open to ideas, I just want to make sure the setup provides a softer rider so I'm not getting beat to shit on long trips.

Nope, I think the pss9 are where its at for what you want. KW v3 are actually sprung a bit soft at 9k and totally livable on the street I feel, but the adjustable Bilsteins are even softer sprung and of course cheaper, allot of where your damping settings are set will dictate how compliant the ride feels though.

Few more questions before I put in an order. Which ride will be softer, the stock suspension or the pss9 setup? I'm also seeing some reviews of the KW V3s riding softer than the Bilsteins.

Also, what is difference between the pss10 kit and the pss9 kit?
