Mullerized Ohlins or Robispec KW Race?

I am contemplating getting either one of these but don't know which
My Evo will be used for both Autocross and Drag.
Help.

Autox & drag, thats two very different disciplines in suspension tuning.

But both are very good coilovers. I personally like the Ohlins quality more, and the availabilty of rebuilds. I am not a fan of the plastic perches on the KWs, as well as the wait for parts if you ever need them. There's also not too many companies I know of that rebuilds KWs.

There is also GTWorx - they carry both Ohlins and KWs with proper Evo setups.

The car is a weekend warrior.
Its not a dedicated drag machine. And I do prefer the corners.
Thanks for your input guys.

As I mentioned, both are great coilovers, which have been proven. I jsut prefer the Ohlins brand due to availability of parts, and rebuilders. KWs are a litle more exclusive in my opinion, so sending them out to get any work done is alittle more of a hassle.
