Bilstein B6 Damptronic + Eibach v1 vs. Bilstein B16 Coilover

The rebound on the OEM shocks are starting to get to me so I'm considering what would be next. I absolutely hate how the car rides in comfort mode. I already have Eibach V1 springs so I'm not starting from a complete OEM setup.

I have read the reviews of both B6 and B16 but am wondering if anyone has experience or could make recommendations on which path to take.

My priorities:
Street ride must be semi-comfortable. I don't want anything much harsher than my current setup in Sport suspension mode (Eibach V1 + stock shocks).
Ride height shouldn't drop significantly more than where the car sits now. I could live with 10-15mm drop but anything more will have me scraping on my driveway. I do not want ride height to increase measurably.
I do limited track days, so performance improvement is desired but this is a lower priority than the other two points.

Thoughts? TIA for your input!
