I was just going to mention this. Magnaride is up there with trick suspension setups and a lot of people seriously underestimate what high end coilovers can do. One guy reported he was stuck at his personal best for months with his KWs until he got custom valved JRZ RS Pro and saw his lap time drop by 3 seconds within a month and he said he still felt that he was getting used to them. With testimonials like that, these setups justify the 6k+ price tag.

That said, this thread is a good warning to avoid modifying yourself into the next performance bracket. At ~45k MSRP, the SS 1LE is a car that outperforms a boosted twin with suspension and rcomps which would put you in the same price bracket for something less reliable and have no warranty support if something goes wrong.
