What are the best coilovers for E9X M3?

Looking into getting coilovers for my M3, I like to drive it every week so I can say I'm looking for something that's good for daily and possible track use because I am planning on possibly tracking the car. I know there are many good brands and coilovers out there, but I wanted to hear everyone's input and advice.

Friends have recommended Ohlin R&T, Bilstein B16, and Sachs Performance.

Any inputs ideas comments?

Onlins R&T are awesome. Front spring rates are pretty low for track, but it is easy to convert to a higher linear spring with camber plates. If 90% of your driving is street, you will love R&T.

The only set I've been running have been the club sports and they have been really nice! It would be nice to hear from those that have tried many different sets!

Something like an MCS 4-way kit would be fine for you.

If your car is mainly street and canyon use with occasional track, u can't go wrong with Ohlins R/T. If you're mainly track with some street miles, something like Ohlins Dedicated Track or KW Clubsport might be a better option. For a pure track car, there are better options out there.

Yea I think I'm gonna go with them. Do you think there is anything good performance wise similar to the Ohlins R/T that is in a cheaper price range?

I don't know, I've only tried the Ohlins. But I am very impressed with how comfortable they are and also how long lasting they have been.

Bilstein B16 Damptronic are nice if you want to retain EDC function.

I second that. I wanted to retain my EDC function but improve the handling. I hear if you track a lot these may not give you what you're looking for but for occasional track days I'd imagine they would work just fine.
