Nice running into you at Laguna Seca a few weeks ago!
I ended up selling my Ohlins I had on my previous car after it got to 30k miles. It didn't leak but you notice the dampening is not as smooth and a rougher, bouncier ride.
I am running KW V3 on my M3 track day car. They cost about the same as the Ohlins. Ride is not as refined but the durability is very high. BMW uses KW on their race cars and comes OEM on the GTS. You can definitely tell they're German engineered. I visited their facility at the ring when I went to drive the ring.
KW have a rebuild interval of 60k miles... which I exceeded. They have a lifetime warranty. You send it in and about a 1 month turn around. I ended up buying a new set and sold the (rebuilt) old ones to minimize downtime and install/re-install costs.
