Suspension up grade. Koni + H&R or KW

I've Belén reading a lot regarding susp up grades.
Would like to enhance drive while lowering an inch or so.
Since my G is DD and no track intention, 7AT with many road trips, my final options are:
Koni Sport kit with H&R sport springs or. KW V1 coils

In México both cost about the same. But know koni kit is cheaper in the states.

Would like to have some reviews from current / past users of both set ups.

I know one set adjust height, while the other damp. But looking to learn from other sedan users which they found best option.

Read some where here trat konis actually "increase height". Is that right.?
Thanks in advanced

I have the KW variant 3 on my daily driver. I've been absolutely satisfied with the upgrade.

The koni won't raise the car in the thread your thinking of the guy had installed them incorrectly.

IMO if you want adjustability go with KW if you want to set and forget and not have to think about maintenance go twitch the konis and good springs.

Also H&R will likely be lower than an inch drop I'd look into swift springs if you not looking at going too low.

I think this is the setup the OP is talking about since it's a very new product (or at least a very new "alliance" between the 2 companies), and it does look like it'll drop about 1.25"-1.5" (30-35mm F, 25-30mm R)
which would be a good drop for a DD.
Only problem is I haven't found a US source for the kit, just UK sites thus far
