which coilover to pick ?

I am going to keep my Z35IS for a while and decide to switch to the
coilover system. My veh will be on the road for 20% of time and on the
track for 80% of time .
My options right now is KW V3 , JRZ single adjustable and cks full track
I need to reduce the understeer as much as possible and also the bodyrolling
Any suggesstion?

lol how does a person drive a car 20% on the road and 80% on the track? that 20% on the road must be driving to the track = your car is 100% track.
For me im 100% on the road because I cant track in HK but to reduce bodyroll I just lowered my car with Eibach and used H&R swaybars front and rear. If I was in your situation I would definitely go with the V3. For me the car still understeers quite a bit, I think if I adjusted my rear swaybar even more aggressively and tinkled with the tire pressure I would get better results but for everyday use, I a little understeer is fine.

You can't go wrong with a KW V3 Coilovers for your Z4. Comes with more than enough adjustments for the track and it comes with a lifetime warranty.

However, CKS Coilover might be a slightly better option for you if want a real customized setup for your Z4. It's a monotube design, you can get it with linear springs, and it's a great coilover system. Last time I checked, the Z4 coilovers were still in testing and the release date is still unknown.
