i think ohlins are specially for track days, not good for diary use. A friend have the fortune kit, he says that it feels smooth for daily driving but i cant drive his car to try them because his car is disassembly waiting for his new mods.
The Ohlins are great for daily use. Also they have the build quality to stand up to daily use. If you're going to spend that much, get the Ohlins and be done with it.
How much do you daily drive? How many autox have you done? How many times have you been on track, and how often are you planning on going? What kind of tires are you currently using? What is your overall setup currently? What class do you run for autox and track? Does the rules of your class allow coilovers? What goals do you want to accomplish?

I have KW Races by RobiSpec (different from KWV3s) and all I can say is that Robert Fuller is a genius! I use this for track and a little DD. Its outstanding on the track, a little tougher for DD, especially in winter. From what I hear the KWV3s are a better compromise for track and DD.

Daily driver is everyday. I have been on autox since last year. Every month, there is an auto x event On track i had been 10 times, trackdays are sometime when my buddy rent the circuit for practices and i go there
.I have toyo r1r on stock wheel size. My suspension set up are a whitelines roll center kit with tanabe spring and hks brake lines. My auto x class are standard size, If i use coilovers i will be on another category but it doesnt matter i do that for fun.
My goals are a 500whp evo for street that can go to the track with out problems.
Now i have 300whp on pump gas, the other 200 whp and suspension upgrade will cost more than $10k that i will spend by parts.
I'm running kw V3 with the Vorshlag Camber camber plates and it honestly makes for a great DD and track combination. Pair that with the whiteline roll center adjustment kit and the weir 12 plate rear diff mod, the car handles like a dream. I'm not sure who told you ohlins are only good for track. Ohlins are better on the street than KW v3's and are amazing on the track.
