Default Performance coilover; bank for buck

I'm currently in the market for some coilovers, while I am looking for the best performance per dollar, I don't care about being super low or anything like that. I really only want a performance drop. While I do intend on tracking the car, I also daily drive it.

With that said I've narrowed it down to 3 choices:
Truechoice Koni phase 2
Kw v3
Ohlins


The konis are about 1600 while the ohlins are about $2600, and the kws fall in the middle.

With my mindset I'm thinking if I'm spending over $2000 I might as well get the ohlins, unless people with experience can say te kw are a better buy.

But with that said my main debate is: are the ohlins worth a $1000 premium over the konis? Does anybody have much experience with these Truechoice konis? I've seen reviews on the phase 4 but not too much on the phase 2.

Thanks

Ohlins FTW. They're way more affordable than they used to be. Easy choice over your other two options.

Yeah, I am pretty positive that for just a few hundred bucks I would do the ohlins over KW. I guess what it comes down to for me is if it is worth an extra $1000

Actually all 3 of your choices are good choices. If I was to do it all over again, I would get the Ohlins without question.
