why wouldn't you be concerned with comfort - fatigue is any drivers worst enemy, the kind that comes from overly loud exhausts and overly harsh suspensions among others.
The nurbergring is not a race track that's why f1 won't race there, some of those corners with a slight lift or during even light damp conditions will spin a raced out spec s2000 faster than you can say OMG.
The lap record for a stock s2000 is just under eight and half minutes. A time few could manage.
The KW suspension is the best choice - you will get a tremendous amount of support from them and other drivers if you need it and the coil springs can be easily replaced with eibach ect.
Not to mention that some of the fastest street cars in the world from 9ff and Novitec Rosso use KW products.
If you want to build an all out car first you need to learn to drive it fast - buy your KW's or whatever and spend the rest on tires, pads and most importantly laps.

My take is if you want to haul a bass fishing boat, get dampers made by a firm specializing in manufacturing bass fishing boat trailor suspensions, AL-KO used by KW...we sell them but only to people who buy on marketing hyperbole truth be told.

Those are valved for 10kg springs, so imo not very "track" oriented. Track oriented means it needs to be valved to higher spring rates for those running rcompound.
