Best Coilovers money can buy

I'm day dreaming about coilovers and just wondering what are the best ones out there? My idea would be to maintain as close to stock height and ride comfort as possible for daily driving, with the option to lower the car, stiffen the shocks/struts and take it to the track for a blast. This is more of an exercise in lust than plans for a change, but it seem like there is a pretty decent selection of coilovers out there ranging from $900 to $2,800, if money were no object, which set is best?

I have KWv2 on mine, but if money wasn’t a deciding factor, I’d love to try these JRZ’s

Budget I'd have to say rev9 #2s...mine allow stock ride height and softness down to as tight n low as I need... only have a few 100 miles on them and yet to really really shake them down but I will be soon.
