Dual Purpose Coils for ~ 3K....AST, TCK, Ohlins, JRZ...?

Hey guys,

I realize i have a 1M, but it is very similar to the m3 in terms of suspension setup.

I use my 1M as a DD but also for HPDE events, probably about 8 or so per year. Currently I have KW v3 and the lack of suspension control over bumps is bothersome to me. I want higher quality dampers that can control the car over rough and bumpy pavement.

That said, i want a higher end coilover setup, and am not averse to using camber plates, that can be used for a comfortable DD and also be capable at the track.

I am considering the following....

TCK D/A with vorshlag camber plates (unsure of spring rates)
AST 4100 with vorshlag camber plates (unsure of spring rates)
Ohlins RT
to a lesser extent, jrz

I dont want to have to worry about constantly rebuilding these and fitment issues or much noise since this is my DD.

Anyone have any feedback? Leaning towards ohlins at the moment.
