Z4M suspension options that are NOT KW V3

Sorry to make another one of these!!
What is the best suspension setup to run for street and occasional track that's also economical? I'm in an area with a lot of potholes so reliability is important.

KWV3 is reputed to be the best on this forum but at $3K I wonder if there are any other good options?

I thought the stock setup was a bit soft, especially how it dived and pitched under braking and acceleration. Maybe my stock shocks were a bit worn. Should I give it another try? (Except with Bilstein replacement since stock struts are twice the price)

I saw one thread here of someone's bilstein pss10 exploding after a pothole so I'm not considering that as a viable option.

I'm currently running fortune auto coilovers but they crash too harshly on big potholes. possible because I'm moderately lowered, but more likely a design flaw with the coilover, i.e. not enough suspension travel, or terrible hockey puck style bump stop (the two are related), or due to the lack of rubber shock mount.

Should I just bite the bullet for KW and not look back?
