Default Help me pick my suspension upgrade

I had a horrible time at the track this weekend at Shenandoah and am finally going to upgrade my suspension (front & rear).
I read a review in Road Racing World about Race Tech and was thinking of going with them, but it seems like a lot of people use Ohlins on the S1000.

Any suggestions for an advanced track day/part time street rider?

talk to Dan Kyle... great guy, working exclusively with BMW as he has his own BMW team. being the largest Ohlins dealer in the world doesn't hurt either. Im pretty sure you could get 30mm carts and TTX rear for less than $2500...maybe even the new triples too.
