Best Coilover Options for Street and Track

I know the options for coilovers on the F30 are still quite limited, particularly for those interested in solid street and track performance. Like many of you, I am holding out for more options. However, which coilovers should we be waiting for anyway? Is there one already available? To this end, I thought it might be useful and interesting for people to give their opinions on the best dual purpose coilover options for street and track based.

From everything I've read, and to extent what I've experienced, the following is list of possible contenders for between roughly $2,000 and $3,000 (in alphabetical order):

AST 4100 or 4150
Bilstein PSS9 / PSS 10
CKS
Ground Control
H&R
JRZ
Koni
KW Variant
KW Clubsport
MCS
Ohlins
TC Kline SA or DA

From the list above, Bilstein, H&R, KW Variant and CKS are currently available for the F30. A couple of others are reportedly close.

To jump start the discussion, here is a an excellent (and lengthy) post on coilover comparisons which has been active for over five years:

Okay - let's hear your thoughts...
