KW V1 or FK Silverline X Coilovers???

ok so I've been seeing mixed reviews about the KW V1's and they seem to not last long or break. I know a lot of people here use them and I was just about to buy them but I thought I would ask you all first. How do the FK Silverline X coilovers compare? What am i better off with?

Thanks!

I don't think the Silverlines work on xDrive or xi equipped cars?

Yeah, and where is this abundance of failed KW V1's you are referring to? That's quite a generalization, only complaint I have heard of is squeaking and someone occasionally messing up the collars.

Do tell...

here's a link I found... I'm all about the KW's and thought they were great to be using but I just had to check I know there haven't been many failures of the equipment but better safe than sorry. I am still going to go with the KW's.

check these reviews-

Really man, that thread is over a year old. I wouldn't worry to much and just order up the v1's.

Yikes!
