Basically, the v2 is height adjustable and rebound adjustable. The v3 is height, rebound and compression adjustable.

The compression phase adjustment is carried out at the lower end of the shock absorber via our patented multi-purpose valve. The large number of pre-set parameters of this valve allows for a wide range of adjustment for individual use. The unique low-speed compression adjustment significantly distinguishes this technology from any other. In this compression range, the driving behavior of the vehicle is drastically influenced. An increase of the damping power supports the vehicle already during compression and therefore avoids rolling and pitching. The directional stability is significantly improved.

Depends on what you're going to be doing with the car and your knowledge of suspension changes

If the car is going to be a track rat and you want the greatest freedom with your setup, v3

If you just want it to ride harder and be lower with height adjustment v1

V2 sits in the middle - the compression is set from the factory so you don't muck it up too bad and you can stiffen the suspension with a simple adjustment.

You could decide to go v3 for the greatest flexibility with your setup, but depending on what you (or people that can help you) know, you may just be buying extra rope to hang yourself with

No matter which one you get they all look mean
