Input needed on coilover kit 83 911 track car

Hi i am looking to convert from Torsion Bars (24mmF 33mmR ) to Coil overs on my 1983 911 Track/hillclimb car .
Anyone have any recommendations (2070 lb wet )
Real life experience would be appreciated
ie is going to C/O from T/B an advantage in handling and lap times?
i have been looking at the 2 way clubman KW kits? anyone have tested /used these?
Also if anyone has a set they are wanting to part with please PM me
Thanks
John

Not 911 but when I stuck a 2.8 into my 356 I pulled the torsion bars and went over to Koni coilovers with 110lb Eibach springs. I don't race but do trackdays and last time out I lowered the springs to give me a bit more travel and it worked well. My rear suspension is s/w/b early 911 and I extended the banana arms to pickup the Konis as per the pic. OPverall much better than the old torsion bars.
