Most awesome track coilovers - Custom PSS9 or KW Clubsport

Hi
I bought some PSS9 from a fellow NAM'er...turns out the rear ones are bent and I need to have them rebuilt (I'm sure the seller was unaware of this).

So, what would make the best track setup:
PSS9, custom valved for 400lb/in (front) 500lb/in(rear)
KW Clubsport off-the-shelf (455 lb/in all around).

The KW's would have to be really good to beat the 100% price difference compared with rebuilidng/valving PSS9 and adding some Swift springs.

I'm on NT01's, control arms, front/rear swaybars, etc etc.

Opinions?

I've had the PSS9s on my R53 for a long time, they work well. The next car I build I'm using a custom set of KW's on.

If you want the KW's let me know I'll fix you up, if it's still a street car you should consider our TSW setup KW's as they will be great dual purpose.

Custom PSS9 since you have them already and can make them perfect.

Though if you scrap that idea then KW V3.

Would you mind sharing the cost to rebuild/revalve the PSS9's and where you would be having that done should you go that route?
Thanks, Steve
