fc coilovers? any suggestions

So I'm looking into some coilovers. Its not a daily driver, but I don't want sucha stiff ride. Have an fc rx7, poss track time and some drag in the future. Don't need the best because I'm not using it much, but want something decent. Any sugg. Looked into D2, stance, tien, they're all around the same range. What what you guys get within that range? Feel free to give any other suggestions I didn't list. Thanks.

I would go for a Tein type flex. It uses a twin tube design which is known to be more comfortable on the street than a monotube design. A high quality monotube damper can be just as comfortable but it doesn't sound like that is in your price range.

drag setups are much different than track setups. Where would you like it to perform better?

Tein flex is much more expensive than the other brands listed.

for cheap+easy, stance is your best bet IMO. if you're willing to do some work, i just put together a custom bilstein setup that is AMAZING. wayyyy smoother than any coilover i've experianced, with 11k/7k springs. my total cost was ~1300, it can be done for a little cheaper.

can you post up your parts list for the custom bilstein setup ? I personally am not a fan of " JDM" coilovers due to the harshness. say it i will, i prefer the german feel when it comes to comfort and handling. tons of grip ! and i've achieved that in my supra with a set of ohlins coilovers. Now im chasing the same feel and handling characteristics for my Fc3s.
