The only ones out of your list worth a damn are gc/koni

The prettiest color of coilovers will likely perform the best OP

Koni/GC is what I see on a LOT of the local autocross cars. And it's a LOT less than $1,000.

You really can't go wrong with it.

Progress is solid, too. So are PIC for under $1,000.

lots of options, just don't get the shiny ones, easy enough?

I thought Pic announced that the Apex line is discontinued and only the Select versions would be available.

Well if your serious, then I may be able to put something together for you close to your budget. Can't help ya if you don't give us a chance or shoot us a pm. I've got some extra 2pcs rear lower mounts I can use on your setup that I can give you for a discounted price, I'm sure I can figure something out depending on how much you want to spend. PM me if you care to inquire.
