On the BRZ and FRS we went with ISC N1 coilovers, "Race/Track" valving on one, and "Street Sport" valving on the other. They have been great, and fall within your budget. The race valved are pretty stiff, as you would expect, and the street valved are ideal for most people, with a good ride and car control in the corners. We went with 8k springs on the Street valving, and 6k on the Race valved, but we do a lot of spirited driving in the mountains, so if you're more focused on comfort, you might go down 1 or 2k on the springs. (You can specify spring rates when ordering from most places.)

You can also spring (get it) for their coilover covers if you want to keep them from getting dirty/rusty. We run them on both and it makes a noticeable difference.

Hope that helps. Good luck with whatever you go with!
