I'm considering the Flex Z and the Flex A as they seem to be top choices in the around $1,000 and under price range. I don't really want to jump up to Fortune Auto and Feal territory (~$1,500).
The car is first and foremost a daily driver, but is autocrossed at most twice a month (not trying to be anything more than locally competitive), and will see a few track days a year (Road Atlanta, Atlanta Motorsports Park, etc). Will be on sporty tires (think Pilot Super Sports and other ~300TW tires) in relatively stock width (not financially ready to move up to 17x9 255/40 200TW quite yet, or ever), and on stock brakes with dual-duty pads.
Is the Flex A worth the money over the Flex Z? Are the Flex A also not rebuildable? Seems like they're main difference compared to the Flex Z is the hydraulic bump stop.

CSG Mike, what are your thoughts on upping the spring rates on the Flex Z? Swift has plenty of options (

I like the stock suspension on my FR-S, but am open to bang-for-the-buck coilovers that prioritize performance. I really like that these include camber plates. I've decided I don't want to go with lowering springs.
