Brian at Ohlins was pretty emphatic that 400/457 would be fine with my build and using 100 and 200tw tires (two sets). It's not quite a street build.

I appreciate the tip on Ohlin RTs Rastta. I was pretty disappointed with PSS9 on my Boxster and wanted to steer clear of Bilstein but JRZ is just too precious $$ for my planned use. At $2900/set this is a reasonable coilover with good reviews for dual sport use. My other option is a Cayman R "kit" for $2400. I have enough laps in cars with these to know they are pretty good street and track but the RT adds ride height adjustability. A worthy contender.
