Need Advice - 335xi Coilovers

I wanted to get my brother a coilover kit for his 335xi and I wanted to get some real world feedback on what people are running.

He does autocross and track events with me, and being in NYC means horrible roads, what provides a good mix of everyday usability but also is stiff enough for some track time?

I think its between the Bilstein PSS9s and the KW Variant2.

For the PSS9 and the adjustable dampening, how do you adjust the dampening of the rear?

Right now for the Xi, the only options are the KW V3s or the H&R Coils. Between the two, I'd recommend the V3s as they offer a great range of adjustment without compromising the car's ride quality for everyday use.

KWv3 is the only way to go. I love mine. If he autocrosses he must be simply cross with how poorly the car handles on the OEM setup. The v3's bring life back to the car. The dampening/rebound adjustments make that even better.
