Which is a better setup for track duty: Vogtland (coilovers) vs. PSS9.

I think a bake off would be needed.
Bilstein uses softer springs, so I would give an edge to Vogtlands here. But then Bilsteins can be made stiff with lots of compression with the adjuster... edge to Bilsten.
I am waiting for some more info on Bilsteins.

I have PSS9s and plan on having 3 settings - summer, winter, track
I have played around a bit with the summer settings, and found that one notch helps with pogo'ing a bit. Currently 6/5.
Winter will be 9/9 to be more compliant with the crap roads.
Track is 1/1.

FWIW on the Porsche forums they are saying...
PSS9's are the one of the least desireable of the different CO's. Very hard for me to believe since they look very nice and obviously have a good reputation. However, from users experiences there are those who recomend against them. I have no idea about Audi's though and have no personal experiences with them.

to be fair, TS 700/800 properly setup on a TRACK would run circles around the vogtland setup...
the vogtland setup is great for the street to soak up the holes and dips, but on a track, the extra spring from the TS setup would vinnnnnnnn
