I run some old though very high end (pre TTX) Ohlins 3 way adjustable dampers on my Mk 1 996 GT3. More on them in this thread :

If the spring rates and valving are carefully considered and well chosen, you really won't need to adjust them once you've established a good baseline setting. Granted you may need the individual who built/valved them to establish the baseline high/low speed compression settings and the rebound settings, but once done, I've found them to be fit and forget.
They were built solely for fast road use, but rest assured, they were massively impressive around Oulton, and I'd suggest they'd probably cope admirably with The 'Ring too.
Don't be out off by their apparent complexity, just get someone to build and set them up who knows their stuff, then enjoy the vastly underated benefits of them
