Well KW also did a lot of engineering work on the car, and the V3 is also install out of the box kind of thing.
I guess I was one of those guys that always thought the factory had it best, until I realized that the factory, on everything, guesses at the best compromise. That there is no "standard", and that so many other things like the wheels used, the tires used, the type of track, the driving abilities, all this comes into play... and what seemed great 10 minutes ago before a wheel and tire change is now not so great at all. One of the compromises the factory ALSO must make is to fit within a certain budget allocated, and that kills much of what an engineer would like to do. That constraint, perhaps the biggest one, is taken away in the aftermarket. When you spend 4K on an R type suspension, you are absolutely not getting your money's worth if you just look at the part itself and realize it's just not that great. Where is your money going? To the Honda parts depertment profit center. It is like buying the Bose subwoofer through Honda for $1200 when it reality it is kind of a dumpy part whose performance can be surpassed by something that costs half as much.
If you need advice on setup, your source is prime, plenty of guys on here that have a lot of knowledge and experience. My dampers are possibly as complex as you can get, and I got lucky enough to have Billy Johnson send me an email and tell me exactly what to do with those, in a very detail oriented way.
I think this whole "OEM Honda" and its cousin "overpriced Mugen" thing is way overblown. You can also buy an OEM brake system for the price of a Stoptech or Brembo BBK. No one in their right mind would do that. So we don't do it with brakes, or the stereo, why would you do it on the suspension.
