If you're looking in that price range:
* Pfadt Single Adjustable Coilovers $1890
* DRM Bilstein Coilovers $1895
* MSI's QA1 Single Adjustable Coilovers $1999
* LG Motorsports G2 Bilstein Coilovers $2395
* Callaway Eibach Coilovers $2996
* HardbarUSA Penske 8200 $2200 + Dual-Rate Springs $800 = $3000
I wouldn't discount the DRM configuration while you're looking in that price range...

You got some good advice and I concur...talk directly with both LGM, Pfadt and give Randy a call at Doug Rippie. You couldn't go wrong with any of these but there may be something specific that appeals to you about one in particular. My preference was for LGM coil-over's but I have friends that are happy using these other brands. If you go with coil-over's for improved track performance you might want to consider upgrading your sway bars as well. Good luck!

I have good things to say about LG, DRM and Pfadt, I've installed them all. I haven't installed the Hardbar coils but the dual rate is a really nice set-up.
The Bilstiens from LG and DRM are great cause you install them and your done. The Pfadt's are better for the guy who likes to tinker, very adjustable (ride height and stiffness) If you are using the car for street and track the Pfadts are nice because you can soften the ride for the trip home, but you do have to mess with them to find your ideal set-up.
They all put out a great product and have great support for there products. Talk to them and see who fits you best.

there was a HUGE thread a few months ago about this very subject. It was great because all the vendors got in there and provided good info. try looking it up. As for my decision, I ended up going with the Penske 8200's with dual rate springs because I was on a budget as well.. the reason I went with these is because next year I will be able to upgrade these and get the canisters added to them. I learned awhile ago to plan ahead (save) and get exactly what you want otherwise you end up spending more money later becuase eventually you'll upgrade.
FWIW, LG was my alternate choice.

Give me a buzz here at the shop. I would be more than happy to discuss any and all aspects of our coil overs.
There are a number of guys on the board here that track, and daily drive their cars with our coil overs.
Every single set is built to order for your car, and your setup (I do probably 98% of them myself).
Between Bilstein, HyperCo, and ourselves it has proven to be a very winning combination on the street and track.
