Check out racecomp engineering's tarmac2 coilovers, that they use the KW variant 3's as the basis of. I was going to get these until I picked up some used whiteline g4's from here.

They posted in the vendor section around xmastime I think... and I think someone from here is using the GC8 version of their coilovers as well.

They seem to follow the softer-spring / better damping school of thought.
