Reliability is a big difference here. Bilstein have panzerwagen reliability while the Leda's need regular rebuilds. But if you want to as quick as possible on the track I would take the Leda setup due to the adjustability. The Bilstein setup is IMHO better suited if you it's street car you take on occasional track days and don't want to tinker with the setup.

I my own opinion, I do find that to be too low for the rear. Plus, it's not the spring that creates the harsh ride, it's the damper.
My only problem with the adjust-ability paradox is I have seen so many drivers, from amateur to professional, sit there and fiddle with their suspension. A whole season goes by and nothing was really established and consistent. If anything, having less adjustment will only do better for the driver, unless we are talking professional racing teams with actual people outside of the driver making the adjustments.

thanks for all the comments guys. I like the potential reliability of the Bilsteins and may give them a try when I get a minute.
Stephane, I am running at the very bottom of the settings but will try running a higher setting. I may need to borrow your c spanner wrenches if you don't mind.
