Yes, you can get both a comfortable ride and good cornering from a coilover package, but if you look around, they start at $800 and work their way up to, well...as much as you're willing to spend. Most of the "newer" Avenger owners don't have a wallet that deep though and my suggestions lean towards that end most of the time because of it.
Buying seperate shocks and then coilover springs don't tend to cost as much as "real" coilovers and then they are so generically stiff that most are kidney busters.
Buying seperate shocks and then lowering springs will offer you what you are looking for. For daily street driven cars, it's fine. For closed circuit cars, coilover packages are what you want....are you willing to pay to play is the question

What you just linked to are stiff, then you have to get adjustable shocks like the AGX's which go for around ~$400 or more. So for $265+$400 (roughly)=$665+AGX shipping. That's only $90+shipping short of a real set of coilovers.
Sure you just saved some $$ by getting those skunk2 c/o's but you just invested in a teeth rattling ride
