Personally I went with the KW v3s and I'm very happy with the result. If you are serious about getting additional camber for the track then you might want to look into an option that gives you camber plates. I know there are some Vorshlag coilovers that come with camber plates or I guess you could just add their camber plates to any set up.

Anyway I think you can safely eliminate the v1s from your list and I'm sure you'll be happy with any one of the remaining three.

I went with KW V2s for my car. I find for a car that is going to be primarily driven on the street, the V2s offer plenty of adjustment in terms of height and stiffness. The V3s are a fantastic choice as well but I find the added compression adjustment to be a bit overkill and suitable more for the track junky that needs to setup their suspension to a specific setting. You cannot go wrong with KW, they carry an outstanding reputation for suspension products and are known for their quality and performance.
