The V3's are what a lot of people go with for a daily coil who are wanting to help with the overall ride feel. It gives you a ton of adjustability control and also helps a lot with the ride comfort. Depending on what you want out of the coil over there are a lot of options. The ST coil overs are a good alternative, best bang for your buck price wise, to the KW V1's. They're manufactured by KW and the difference is between housings and warranty. Not specific to the R55, but check out the discussion on KW's and ST's in the threads below. Let me know if you have any questions.

I ran the V1s for several years. They were comfortable and performed well, although both front shocks had to be rebuilt because they leaked. The car was on nasty Philly roads as well as many track events, so they got abused...
