    I have PSS9s on my Polo which is used almost exclusively as a track car these days.

    They are height adjustable with the appropriate tools (as are most coilovers), and they are damping adjustable with a simple dial on the bottom of each unit. The adjustment ranges from 'very firm' to 'springs made of concrete'.

    I leave them set to the firmest setting pretty much all the time - although changing the damping rate is very easy (takes no more than 30 seconds per corner) I have gotten so used to the hard setting that I just leave the car that way even for non-track driving. I don't know enough about suspension setup to fiddle with the damping rates to suit a particular track but a smarter person than I might find benefit in setting the suspension to suit the circuit.

    I can't make any comparisons with the KW V1s though - I went straight from the stock suspension to the PSS9s when I bought the car.
