I think this is the best way to break it down…

KW CS
+ Adjustability (track setups)
+ Warranty
- Harshness of twin-tube design

Ohlins R&T
+ DFV (Dual Flow Valve technology for daily driving)
+ Progressive Dampening (every 3 clicks rebound is figuratively adding 1 click compression)
+ Monotube design
- Not a lot of adjustability

If this is a daily driven car (especially for the east coast) in which comfort is a priority, which still being able to have fun and enjoyable track days, I would 100% go with the Ohlins. If this is a car that is secondary car, or a car in which you do time trials and want to get into suspension setups and dialing in, then the KWs are the route you should take.

Really all personal opinion, but you won't get the best of both worlds from either suspension. My opinion is go for the Ohlins and then if you ever are thinning of going to a super good setup go AST, JRZ, or Ohlin TTX.

Hope that helped a little.
