I think we have a winner although I'm not sure how comfy they would be.

No one is being an idiot. You need to understand what constitutes a "coilover" first and move on from there.

The stock suspension is a coilover, whether you choose to believe or not. So you want the better answer, you need to address the following:

Do you want adjustment? Damper or height or both?
What is "no budget"? Is $10k too much?
What wheel/tire combo will you use with this?

I'd say you also have to define "comfy"...since that word and "aftermarket coilover" typically do not exist in the same sentence...

They do, just that no one really makes it since it would defeat the purpose of this car.

You can order custom shocks valved for soft ~4k/4k springs, that are slightly stiffer than stock. Since OP is vague and has an unlimited budget, I'd recommend OP to go with custom Penske springs w/ some Eibach ERS 3.5/3.5 all around.

RIP wallet.
