We have complete, auto-x and track tested "turn key" set-ups based on both KW Variant 3's and Ohlins DFV Sportlines. Designed for you to win, and with the nice by product of having pretty good ride quality too.
Complete with damper, ride height, spring rate, tire pressures, alignment, etc. settings and changes. If you want to be competitve in auto-x, i'd recommend the Dave Mac EVO KW V3 auto-x destroyer lunch special.
As for what this will do compared to your KYB/GF210 set-up....well....imagine driving your car into a garage, and driving out a completely different car that only kinda looks the same as your old car. No more body roll, balance of the car is completely changed, you can easily control how the car is poised throughout the turn, overall grip is dramatically increased. Put simply, even though it's easy to control and you ca make it do what you want, you will have to catch up to the car's abilities and new found overall grip.

Does your recommended setup for the new Ohlins DFV Sportlines incorporate the stock rear swaybar? I have a Hotchkis rear swaybar on there now (counting points for NASA possibly).

But the rear sway is nice to have (quick/easy to tune balance of the car, better ride quality since you won't need as stiff rear springs).
