KW V3 - I remember reading that KW facility in CA would no longer revalve the non competition dampers, only rebuild. Although I think a few independent shops (Robispec comes to mind) can do that.

Bilstein PSS10 - if you are gonna consider V3, you should add this to your list.

Koni - at your price range, I think you have enough to get a set of custom valved Koni along with the supporting hardwares (top hat, springs, rear height adjuster, etc). A couple of members here (redline10000 and j-rho) went that route.
