KW are the better of the two but you will need to find a pair of Fiat Bravo top mounts to fit the KW kit.

I don't know of any bad points with them, they seem to be a little more of a Asian mass produced coilover with quite a few different companies putting their name to them.
There was one report on here of the eye end of the rear damper coming off but I believe this was replaced under warranty?

Personally I wouldn't have a solid metal top mount on a road car, great on a track car but with the condition of most of the roads in Europe I don't think it's a good idea.
The KW have always had great reviews, are a German company and carry TUV approval.
