Now, if you're willing to sacrifice some comfort, or some performance, then you'll have a lot of solid options in the 2k+ range.
Thank you everyone for the replies @RacecompEngineering @ModBargains.com @CSGMike

Although I'm willing to spend money, I'm certainly not in the position right now to put unlimited funds towards suspension. lol. I'm just a 26 yr old engineer still.

I'm willing to go 4k max for "full" suspension including coilovers, and necessary components like camber/caster plates and LCA so I can get a proper alignment done. I know there are other things like sway bars and such that will come into play at some point, but for today, I think I'm looking to divert my supercharger fund towards a proper suspension setup I'll be happy with for years to come.

I do believe a compromise will be in order and I think if there will be one to be made, it would be in not going ball to the wall track car ride quality until the car becomes a dedicated track car, and find a par of shocks/springs that will ride really nice on the road.

So I guess with that being said, and I know this is primarily subjective and I need to go on more ride alongs, but whats the general consensus on smoothest riding coilovers? (the fiancee will repay me big time for taking into consideration her feelings And something I can dial in for the southern california tracks I'll frequent most often.

Thanks again for the input everyone!
