I vote for track pack

Also, is the nitron sport pro suspension that much of a step above both of those options? At this time I dont' think I'm ready for the 46mm ohlins based on cost and adjustability.
I had an '06 Exige with LSS which I upgraded to the 36mm Ohlins setup. I now have an '08 with track pack. The street ride with these is far better than the LSS and marginally better than the Ohlins. Unless you're a hardcore track junkie, I'd recommend the track pack single adjustable Bilsteins, nice compliant street ride and enough adjustibility for 8/10ths on the track. As for corner balancing, I found that just adjusting the ride height myself at home got it very close. Just make sure to check the alignment after you set the ride height.
