Ohlins R&T vs MP vs KW v3

Car just got pulled into production today and am starting to do research on certain mods. Anyone know the difference vs the others for coilovers? Mostly daily driving with a track day here and there. Thanks!

Ohlins is a good compromise towards street and track, better for the street

KW is more focused for track usage and street ride will be slightly worse (don't try to warranty products used at the track though)

MP is BMW spec'd suspension from KW - 2 way adjustable and has standard warranty along with it

Had JRZ RS ONE & loved them. sold the car to a friend he loves it as well. you can consider that as well.

Out or your options I would go with Ohlins no doubt. I'm just not a KW fan personally.

Ohlins R&T is definitely the winner out of the 3. The damper technology is better and monotube design is more precise to start with.

In addition, you have several spring rates to choose from to tailor the system to street or track.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I was already leaning towards the Ohlins but wanted to see what others had thought.
