Would rec keeping pasm if you have PDCC. Part of the appeal of Ohlins is the analog feel and predictable reaction of the suspension which is somewhat cancelled out if you have active sways.

If you go Bilstein you keep PASM (electric dampers), if you go Ohlins you have to delete PASM. Both Ohlins and Bilstein work with PDCC (electronic/hydraulic sway bars) if equipped. With Bilstein you need to buy a $250 PDCC adapter kit in addition to the coilovers if you have PDCC like Joe and I.
Are you planning to track the car or just want it to look lower/better?
I'd agree with the comment that these cars are good out of the box and have tracked mine a couple times to make sure
My PASM/PDCC PDK feels fine on the bad pavement roads here in Seattle, yours are similar/worse and I'm tempted to try the DSC V3 to see how I like it.
Can always sell to one of you guys for a discount I'd guess.
I promised myself I wouldn't mess with this car and keep it cheap to own...
You should step up to the plate and get the cheap(lol) Tractive DDA RTs and do it right!

I did look into DSC Trackactive DDA-RT package but as a daily the retail price of 7K just for the Coil-overs alone, which doesn't even include yet the DSC? a little to high for my wallet and won't be put to everyday use in a track setting as I don't do track. But sure looks like an awesome system for the weekend racer/hard core track monster.

I paid about $700 for install and alignment for my KW v3 coilovers. I would highly recommend these as another option to the Bilstein and Ohlins, KW has a long history of making some of the best coilovers in the world. Extremely happy with my set! However, as you stated with the Ohlins, will require EDC delete.

you'll lose the pasm function on any coilover you go with. they have resistors available to get rid of the error light. ive had h&r springs and now have kw v3's, whichever route you go its not going to ride like stock anymore. ive been modifying my cars for over 20 years so i had an idea of how both would ride from previous cars.

btw- how long did these services take to complete? I ask as I'm being quoted ranging prices and length of time they need the car for which is perplexing to me and which is why I'm also inquiring with the community who has had there's done.
