The ohlins are a great option for dual duty but you'll probably want linear springs and camber plates on track so you're getting close to $3k in which case I'd 100% go MCS... Or save $1k and just go FA510.
My strut towers are completely stock, so IDK how the heck I got -3.5, but I did, and now I've reduced to a replicable -2.5 to match the right. The Ohlins do actually come with linear springs, unlike KW or Sachs Performance. Yeah, if I did drop a price bracket I'd go for the 500's (better ride) or the YCW Reference Series and maybe put that $1500 into a 1M front end...
