I can only comment on the KwV3, iv had them on there car now for well over 2 half years and they gave been great! Those that have been in my car would probably agree also.

I have PSS9's and they are good but remember to uprate your ARB's at the same time. The KWs are probably a better technical answer with regard to optimising settings but PSS9's are probably easier to change the settings on (takes a couple of minutes to do all 4) and fool proof when it comes to not messing the settings up (as I seem to do with ease on Gran Turismo with too many parameter to play with).

Damn right! - When I first got let loose with my track car and 4 way fully adjustable everything I found it all too easy to end up with a mess and restoring the factory settings took ages! (lots of click counting and all too easy to loose track!)

Do KWs and PSS9s need continual tweaking or can they be set up and forgot about for ever after?
Is there a cheat sheet with generally accepted settings for the avant, cab and saloon for lesser mortals?

I'm not in the market btw, just curious.

Can't speak for KWs but PSS9s are pretty much fire and forget but dead easy to adjust if you fancy a change/go on track etc. Reverting back to what you previously had is only as challenging remembering what number (1 to 9) you previously had them on and taking the 2minutes to change them.

When I had the KWv3s set up by MRC, I wanted a medium contrast. so they set them at 7 bound, 8 rebound and medium ride. Iv not touched them since, and iv been running them for 2 years now.
