KW V3 vs Ohlins Road & Track — which would you choose?

Finally ready to pull the trigger on coilovers for my S2000. Daily driven but I do 4-5 track days a year. KW V3 seems like the safe pick but the Ohlins R&T has been getting a lot of love lately. Anyone run both?

Ran KW V3 on my F80 for two years before switching to Ohlins. The Ohlins are noticeably more planted mid-corner but the price difference is real. If budget isn't a concern, Ohlins. Otherwise KW is hard to beat.

KW V3 on my MX-5 and I love them. For an S2000 specifically the KW fitment is well documented and support is easy to find. Ohlins is great but you're paying for the name a bit on that platform.

Ohlins R&T if you're doing real track days. KW V3 if you want a great daily that happens to work on track. Different goals honestly.
