Default KW vs. Stasiss for coilover kits

I'm looking at these two brands for kits. KW I was looking at the Variant 2 kit and Stasiss I was looking at the Track Sport kit. My main question/concern is are they both adjustable while installed? I know the Stasiss kit is, but I'm leaning a bit more toward KW only if it's adjustable while it's installed.

Also, does anyone have experience with either kit.

Default Are you going to be tracking the car?

Stasis is head and shoulders above the rest. Don't waste your time or money on anything else.

Default KW Var 2

KW Variant 2 coilovers must be removed from the car, spring removed, and the piston rod pushed down all the way to adjust the rebound. The height can of course be adjusted with the shock on the car.

I'm not going to be tracking it. I just want something that will ride nice, but so I can get the car at a lower stance without sacrificing ride quality.

The one thing I really liked about KW was the stainless aspect. I'll be driving the car in the winter quite a bit. I just don't want to get a kit that the height can't be adjusted while installed in the car.

stasis is overkill for a street car

I do remember reading about a few kits that must be removed from the car to adjust the height. So you have to set the height you want the car at before you install them. I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to go through the pain of removing a coilover kit to adjust the height everytime I want it higher or lower.
