Why do you want coilovers? For performance, for lowering, for bragging rights?
The problem with coilovers is that they're designed for performance; setting your ride height, keeping your pitch and roll in check, and keeping those tires attached to the ground, in that order.
What makes them uncomfortable is their valving: cheap coilovers don't have that much adjustment in compression and rebound stiffness. My Tanabe Sevens do, as do most of the other top tier coils, but they're out of your price range.
Out of personal experience, I'd say you should get RSR Race Springs and Koni Yellows or Tokico adjustables. It'll give you a lot of performance, a decently comfortable ride, great for the canyons - just not as good for drifting.
Or you can do what the rest of us do: man up, get what performs well in your budget, and toughen up those kidneys.
