Depends what you want from the car, for a daily, KW's are tough to beat. Spring rates aren't good for a motorsports applications out of the box, which to an extent is also true with the Ohlins. However, for both of those options, the dampers are phenomenal. The KW V3 damper has serious motorsport pedigree.
I have the TCK's, 400/700 and Vorshlag plates, and I love them. Sometimes I wish that I had sprung (heh) for the Doubles versus the Singles, just for that extra level of damper control. The Koni-based dampers are excellent at wheel control, and the ride quality is by and large, very impressive, given the spring rates and low ride height I have the car set at. Lap times also dropped. Saw about ~3-4 second improvement around a 2 minute lap track (Buttonwillow). The car feels very planted at autocross or the track. The only complaints I have is that being stiff and low makes the car more twitchy on the bumpy canyon roads out here, especially at speed. Not enough to be dangerous or anything, but it does keep you on your toes. Though, this would be true of just about any suspension when the car is low.

Also, what RSFB solution did you go with? Thinking I'll stick with a more simple setup, 400/600, OEM top hats, and the standard TCK VVS springs.

I choose 700 as a compromise between single adjustable damper's ability to handle the spring rate, resistance to bottoming out, and subframe. Currently have Whiteline inserts, will be going back in for full poly at some point.
IMO, an 800# rear spring with a D/A damper and the stiffest bushings out there would be perfect for my particular goals.

100% agree. You won't get max benefit out of a really good suspension kit without plenty of camber.

If the purpose of the car changes, no issue with adding a set of Vorschlag plates. Not afraid of ripping the front struts out again to do that later. No labor costs to worry about aside from an alignment.

Across all the e90/1addicts/M3post forums the clubsport holds its own as a very good damper, extremely popular for it's track capabilities (especially with the M3 guys) and still comfortable on the street. I've also heard that the internals are top notch. Therefore I have to question what is better about the TCK SA vs the KW V3? |

What options are available to disable EDC using this kit?

TCK S/A kit arrived. Will update my build thread and cross post impressions here to help anyone trying to decide in the future once I have time to install.

Awesome! It's gotten so slow here in the suspension threads, glad to see someone is doing a proper coilover modification

With E82s out of production, its bound to die off as folks trade out. I'm gonna drive this until the engine blows up though, and then do a V8 swap. Wish I had the money to do everything I want now. Had to settle for suspension as a start since Im not happy with my setup anymore.

Nope, car got hit by an irresponsible individual and has been in and out of body shop. Waiting until its fixed up 100% before doing the coilover install. Goes in for hopefully the last part of the work on Monday, so not much longer!

how are you planning to run the factory strut mount with dinan plates? Is there an additional adapter you need to buy?

Edit: this is a popular option because it still retains the OE mount (less NVH). This paired with the M3/TRW control arms is a great alternative to adjustable plates if you never really plan on changing your alignment.
