This is not gonna be popular but I do NOT quite 100% like my Ohlins PCV 
10kg front, 8kg rear spring rates. I somehow find them too soft. Well maybe I don't know how to set them up properly.
Can Ohlins users please chime in what your damping rates are? Mine is usually on FULL HARD rear, and about 8 clicks from hard front. Still not handling the way I like it (which is a little loose in the rear)....

Contact Adam from Z1Auto, he has a lot of information and if I remember correctly was adding more info to the list when the company rep from the Nederlands comes over. I'll tell him to jump on.

I see no mention here of John Mueller's suspension setups. There's a lot more involved than just strapping on a set of pretty looking coilovers. Why not go with someone like John who drives and tests what he sellls and can guide you in the right direction.
BTW, John can also get Ohlins.

He is the Daddy of the San Francisco Region SCCA ITE Champion Evo, this car holds the lap record at Laguna Seca, Thunderhill and Infineon. He also builds suspensions for use by Mitsubishi Research and Design on their concept cars such as the Ralliart AWD Turbo Eclipse.

But I stick 100% with my statement that a custom tuned product will beat an off the shelf product (no matter how good) every time. Make no mistake I agree Motons are better shocks (hell the best), I've raced and tested on them many times but for the price (plus the cost of testing and revalving to get them optimized), good lord. Here we have very high quality shocks (though not as high as Motons...) matched to a complete suspension system (that costs well under the price of the Motons themselves). Hell yes they are better/faster than "off the shelf" Motons. If someone want to bring a Moton equiped car along and run it against a Vishnu equipped car I would welcome it, you can't buy advertising like that
