FYI, I dunno how heavily you value DD over autocross, but I consider my car PRIMARILY a DD above all else... but still autocross it hard enough to have won Chicago Region STX last year (and our first event this year.) I autocross on 17x9, 245-40 RE71Rs.
I'm currently running KW V3 coilovers. They are pretty soft (270-lb-or-so) and they are definitely not ideal for autocross, but they are also fine for spirited driving on less sticky tires (255 Michelin PSS), and - most importantly - super comfy as far as coilovers go for daily driver use in Chicago. The car leans a lot in autocross, but it something I just deal with as a trade-off for a car that's comfy the other 99.6% of the time I'm driving it.
Food for thought.
