Recommendation for new suspension setup

I am looking to upgrade my suspension on my IX MR. It currently has the stock bilsteins with some lowering springs. I am looking to lower the car a little more than springs so I want a good set of coilovers. I dont AutoX the car but it does see the occasional spirited driving around town and I take it down the 1/4 mile everyone once in a while. I dont mind a firm ride but dont want a bouncy crap ride either. What is everyones recommendations? Also looking for a new rear sway bar.

What's your budget? I can't recommend Penskes if you don't have 10k ready to go.

Sorry didn't mean to post this thread lol. I have been searching a lot and don't plan to spend more than 1500 unless totally necessary for my driving habits.

The only c/o's I can think of that I've heard enough good feedback on in that price range are Fortune Autos.

I have FA500 and it rides nice. Even on crappy MN roads. I've had really feedbacks from people that rode in the car with me. I also autox with mine and occasionally hit the road course and its awesome. Its not a bad coilover for $1100.
