And $2k is a little outside my self imposed suspension budget. I'm looking more along the lines of $1-1.5k. Any suggestions?

Tein, JIC, D2, Omni (with different spring rates, IMO), etc.
Just look around, there's PLENTY of good coilovers out there....it just depends upon exactly what you want out of them, how long you plan to use the car, and how much you're willing to spend. Honestly, $2k isn't that bad for one of the most important parts of the car.
Think about it....people spend $3k + on F/I....just to go faster, but aren't willing to spend NEARLY that much on the parts to USE that power, and keep yer car on the ground. Weird IMO.

Rep Power: 395 Damn, those are fly. Two rings to lock the height are a nice touch. The really big cylinder diameter in the front is nice! The pillow ball is super-nice! The camber adjustment is nice! Dayam! Ok, I want a set. My Hayame's really really suck.
