$1000 will get you a height adjustable coilover from a reputable company, KW, RCE, Bilstein. The ones claiming to have damping adjustable in this price range are prone to failure and ride harshly like the BC's. I learned the hard way with height adjustable only when I lowered my car. No damping adjustability made my ride very bouncy, like the rebound was out of control over a small bump in the road. I didn't want a large wheel gap, but I also did not want to be slammed. I wanted a balance of being lowered with symmetrical LCA's in the back to not kill the geometry of the car.
I then swapped to the V3's and now have full control over rebound and compression. Doesn't matter how low I am, I can make these coilovers ride so comfortably, and sporty. It's unreal the difference between a $2000 coilover system versus a $1000. Even though you may not adjust it many times over the coarse of ownership, just having the ability TO adjust it to begin with is what makes them great. Having not tested many of the other setups around that $1000 I can't comment for all of them. I just know that only having height adjustable coils have many limitations including ride height to match the damping.
