First off, technically we HAVE coilovers stock. A coilover is simply a spring over strut setup to be purist about it.
Most people these days, however, refer to coilovers as adjustable units (although some arent). And really, if you arent going to tune it precisely, then you are wasting your money on them. If you do want to use all that tuning, then I would go with Tein SS-P's, which seem to be a great setup on the tC. When I change from TRD I will probably go that route to corner balance and tune the car for autox a little better. If you dont want to tune them or adjust them, then just buy some good springs at the height you want, like hotchkis or trd.
But you still have springs and shocks with either setup.

For $1000 I recommend H&R. They only have height adjustments and can be corner balanced, however, to get the maximum benefit you should install harder suspension bushings (i.e. urethane) if you plan on corner balancing no matter what coilovers you choose. There is no such thing as a "fully adjustable" coilover for the tC and none of them offer independent compression and rebound adjustments which is the proper way to precisely tune a suspension; the damper adjustments offered on some tC adjustable coilovers are mostly marketing gimmicks.
$975 at www.allsprings.com (H&R distributor), and the H&R rear sway bar is available their as well.

Now that sounds more clear. And thats so true it makes no sense at all buying an expensive adjustable coilover without knowing the use.
