I've been happy with my BC Racing coilovers, paid just under $1k shipped, and they felt excellent at Deals Gap rally this year. Took some turns a lot faster than I should have and they didnt let me down.

I also daily drive them cranked about 75% towards the firmest setting, and IMO still comfortable enough. Also rebuildable here in the US if you have an issue.

I have a few sets of coilovers in stock we can work with you on depending on your budget. At the moment I have a set of tein flex for a steal at $950 and cusco type 2 coilovers at $900. Both will be superior to entry level coilovers and meet your needs. Shoot me a PM.

I have the greddy type S coilovers on my rotary car last time I went to deals. They served me incredibly well and they are the best aftermarket coilovers IMO at soaking up rough roads. I always get comments on how soft the ride is. They aren't stock touring suspension soft but they are the best you will get for aftermarket stuff. Google for prices. I bought mine for $1500. I saw them sell for $1300 on sale a while back but it looks like prices went up.

Daily driven about 13,000 miles, 1 track day, 1 auto cross and a few canyon runs on my megan street coilovers. No issues with them.

My only real suggestion is whatever you buy, buy brand new. I've purchased used coilovers to find them to go bad (clunk) in just a few thousand miles. Once you replace them, you have to spend more money on a replacement and alignment and hassle of dialing in your suspension again. Not worth the savings in used coilovers IMO.
