Yes, both KW's and any reputable suspension company making coilovers will reduce body motion, whether it is pitching, lifting, squatting, or diving either through stiffer dampening and/or springs.

If you are running on the track or auto x'ing the linear spring of the KW clubsport will provide much more predictable handling qualities. When I say predictable handling qualities I mean you will be able to feel the point where tires lose grip a lot easier and correct for understeer or oversteer with much more certainty. The KW clubsport does also utilize a helper spring in combination with the linear spring that makes the length of the spring combo almost the equivalent of a progressive cone shaped spring but the width is much less. You can remove the helper spring on the clubsport to reduce the overall length of the spring and gain wheel and tire clearance.

KW V3's utilize a cone shaped spring that is wider than the linear spring that would be used on a KW Clubsport. It is much harder to fit a maximum width wheel and tire in the front using a progressive or cone shape spring equipped coilover.

If you intend to track the car or would like maximum front wheel and tire fitment we recommend either going with a TC Kline or Ground Control coilover set up since they use a short linear spring without a helper spring or using the KW clubsports with the helper spring removed. If the car is only going to be used on the street and maximum front wheel and tire width is not needed than KW V3's will be work for you.
