I'm a huge fan of Bilstein products, but their US-specced PSS coilover kit comes with progressive spring rates. Depending on the type of driving you do, you may not like them. Using their lifetime warranty is a very pleasant experience. You definitely get some quality dampers at this price range of coilovers.

From my experience (also from my peers' experiences) with KW V1 vs. ST, although some may claim the ST are the same as the KW V1 but with the only change being the strut body material/coating, the ride comfort can be different for the same application. The KW V1 sometimes ride better than the ST in the same application. I'm not sure if this is a difference in spring rate or in valving.

I really like how RCE and Fortune Auto do business. You'll be fine with either of those two.

I suggest taking a look at ISC Suspension. They are also in your price range, and they offer a ton of options with a good warranty as well. They include camber plates as well.

Performance and price? Most times, when talking higher performance, you gotta pay to play, but there is a point where you may see diminishing returns.
Performance and comfort? They usually go hand in hand. You would think high-end, expensive suspension with high spring rates would ride harsh on the street, but not always.
Performance and features? Performance > features. To me, when putting money towards anything suspension related, dampers should get the highest priority.
