Bilstein PSS10 or Ohlins RT

Title says it all.

I currently have OEM EDC suspension with Eibach Springs. My car is a daily driver and I put roughly 8k miles on it a year. I'm considering going to coilover and coding out EDC.

I mostly drive around in Comfort mode or Sport. My main objective if I go to a coilover kit is to improve the crashiness of the OEM EDC suspension over harsh / sharp bumps while also improving rebound control, body control and overall performance. I don't have any current plans to take the car to the track but I could potentially see a DE or HPDE day or two in the future.

I like the price point of the PSS10 and Bilstein is a proven company but I keep reading they tend to valved quite stiff and I've read a few threads describing their dampers as bouncy. I want to avoid that. Unfortunately I am piecing this together based on threads discussing B8, B6, B6 EDC and a very old thread about the PSS10. There isn't much out there about the PSS10 unfortunately.

On the other hand I've read nothing but high praise for the Ohlins RT. The softer springs are sometimes described as a negative for track use but that is not my use case scenario. I want this to be a great daily driver capable of the occasional spirited drive.

Thank you in advance for any feedback.
