Not sure where the short service interval on the Ohlins R&T came from but we have been selling Ohlins since 2009 and only had a couple of requests for service work. A bunch of regulars at our shop have Ohlins on their autocross and track 135 and 335 for years and none of them needed service yet. Not to knock on KW, but we have seen more KW V-series dampers blown out or simply lost damping than Ohlins, TCKR(Koni), MCS and JRZ combined. That said, all dampers will eventually need servicing and to keep the dampers within the performance window intended from the factory you would likely want to service them every 2-3 years, but who does that on a street car?
Not including camber plates could be a con only if you track the car. There is really no need for camber plates on a street car. On a lowered car with 1M/M3 front lower arms and strut mount alignment pin removed you will get around -1.5 of camber which is plenty for street duty.
What TC Kline Racing SA or DA has that few others can offer is you can have a few spring rate options to choose from. You can also run a none M front with the M rear if you have the M rear lower camber links. For the none M SA, at $2324 with camber plates or $1885 without it's the best value out there.
