Used KW V1 vs New ST coilovers

Just wanted some opinions. I have the option of getting some slightly used kw v1 or a new set of st coilovers for about the same price. What do you guys think?

It's the same coilover essentially. The difference is the KW shock bodies are made of stainless steel, and the ST from galvanized steel. I went with the V1s since we have salt on the roads during the winter months.

Have you looked into the Bilstein PSS? Seems to be the most popular choice lately.

I have the kw v2's and love them. Come with a life time warranty too. If you're going with the used ones, make sure you know how many miles have been put on them. Also if they have had any issues such as squeaking. And by anyway do you know someone named Chad, with a dark blue mustang, 492 whp lol?
