I have to second this. Also, NVH I was fine with on my BMW ICE I was very much not fine with on the Tesla. Everything is accentuated in an EV. So many people I've talked to have complained about NVH when installing some particular aftermarket parts.
Eibach likley. Unless it's an odd ball spring rate, then Ohlins USA will contract Swift to make it.Suspension for Tesla Model 3 - 2017-2022 - () | Öhlins

11/12k springs sound a bit too stiff for street use.Suspension for Tesla Model 3 - 2017-2022 - () | Öhlins

Redwood's HPDE setup is 10/13k I think.
I agree. That is stiffer than the ones I've run on a Model 3 which I would describe as having a 'sporty' ride, verging on 'track'.
Redwood GT springs are much lower than that.
I've had Ohlins DFV R&T on several cars. They are generally fine on the street with soft damping settings. I hope these are too, just surprised they've chosen rates that high. Most people getting these will expect to a dual-duty setup. So, I hope they choose damping to make these work for street applications as well.
Hard to make everyone happy. Back in the days when Ohlins R&T made the BMW E46 E8x E9x with softer spring rates track guys complained. Then they made the F2x/8x with higher spring rates street guys complained. Just can't win! lol For some applications they have dialed back a bit on the R&T product spring rates and offered dedicated track system.
Where are you seeing the MSRP? I only see a few ebay listings at that price. US MSRP's are not that high even for Porsche kits. I doubt it's gonna cost more than R&T DFVs for P-cars or for the A90 Supra...
I want to say so as well. I am at 9 and 12 with MCS 2WNR. It feels really good for street duty(nearly as compliant as stock), but too soft for the track. I trust Ohlins judgement since it they have done plenty of testing before releasing this kit.
