Default streetable w/some auto-crossing

I want a daily driver as it is currently, but, with the occasional weekend auto-cross ability. budget is not an issue overall, but, I just don't want to over spend just to be able to say I have the most expensive coilovers made. I hope that makes sense. if it turns out that the most expensive are also the best option than that is fine. for example when I was looking for tires for the car, the oem tires to replace were also almost the most expensive. did some research and tried a set of Hankook tires that were around $90 per tire. these turned out to be the best tires I have ever had on a car. i.e. quiet, strong sidewall, good in wet and dry, good wear, great handling and let you know right when they are at their limit of breaking free. I may have to go through all of the threads concerning coilovers, but, thought there might be someone who found a set of coilovers as I had found the tires and would share that info to at least narrow down my "search results". I appreciate any input and thoroughly understand that there are going to be mixed opinions out there, but if I had 3 responses that all recommended the same coilovers with the same results and performance improvements, it would point me in the right direction to then do deeper research. currently I am "flying blind" and a virgin as far as coilovers go. that being said, I have done plenty of reading on them to thoroughly understand the pros and cons, good and bad. now, I just want real world opinions from drivers that have put "x-brand" on their cars already.
