KW's are the best compromise between track and street. There are better suspensions for the circuit out there, but it would be undrivable on the road.
Lowering the car doesn't mean that is going to go through corners faster, as the suspension geometry gets changed and is no mre in the range of appropiate arms angle, etc. It's kind of hard to explain as my english is not bad, but not good enough to get into those things. Any suspension specialist can explain that better. The clio seems to work very good up to 30 mm of lowering, after that it starts to get dodgy steering, weird reactions...
Also, if you want to get 100% out of the KW V3's you have to know your stuff, as this suspension is 2-way adjustable, it's not just 1 knob that sets up the suspension stiffer or softer. You can set it up and think that the car is moving better than before, but you are only using 75% of the suspension potential. Somebody with good knowledge can set up those suspensions and make the clio fly.
My point is, if you buy the V3, if I were you' I would go to some suspension specialists and I would have it set up, and that's more money you have to spend apart from the suspension itself.
Instead, V1's have a given setup that is good enough for 85% of the situations, and is cheaper, but maybe not worth the money having cup suspension.
Cheers
