I can understand not all of us live in states where the DOT properly maintains roads, but I can't stand cars that don't feel hunkered down around bends. Plus, NC does a darn fine job on its roads.......

I really don't like the painted body kit and the wheels from the M-Sports Package so I won't be getting it, I will definitely go for the Sports Package and then either AD or KW V3.
The problem is that it's hard to find a vehicle with AD at the dealers as most of their stock cars doesn't come with AD, and it's even harder to find a car with KW V3, so it's like a Mission Impossible to test drive these two options.
Both AD and KW V3 should offer better handling, some people say the ride comfort is not too bad with the V3 if you adjust it right. Price wise the KW V3 kit is probably cheaper than the AD after installation.
The road here in Houston is not too bad tho
