I paid a lot less but they were 2nd hand. They are essentially the same, but the v3's are fully adjustable where as the v1's are only height. So you will be able to the height that the v1's can mate. If you see my pics, the fronts could easily go, 15-20mm lower, but the rear is at max. So if you wanted lower then custom springs will be needed. But it depends how you drive. I wouldnt go any lower on mine, im prob gonna raise the front by 5mm. But i like the back roads. If thats not your thing then its up to you. But any lower on mine would result in my sump in pieces and my arch liners with holes in lol.
