Your definition of good coilovers and my definition of good coilovers are obviously quite different (on par with the ongoing discussion if one needs MRC or not).
A "good" coilover suspension costs more than $1700. Heck, to me, a good double adjustable coilover suspension will be north of $3k-$5k (Koni, Bilstein) when all is said and done. "Great" will get you in the $6k-$10k range (Moton, et. al.). I know quite a few cars where the shocks cost more than 3x the car. 
"Street" (i.e. mad tyte tunerz) coilovers that only adjust rebound at preset values are in the $1500 range. I do not call those good coilovers. Not even in the same ballpark. Good track ones? Not at all. Nope. Nopenopenopenope.

You don't need to spend that much for good coilovers necessary. I have Pfadt coilovers on my C5 Z06 which is mainly just used for autocross and occasional time attack days. If I recall the set cost me just under $2000 and they work amazingly well and have help up perfectly over the past few years. I had the car professionally set up and it's handles like it's on rails. I am not a pro, but have won and top three'd my class in various events with them many times, so I can't complain...I like them.
