What would be the best track suspension setup that would also be tolerable for use on the street for daily driving with money not being an issue?

Pilx

Nice set of coilovers?

Any of the republe jap brands would suffice. Tein, Kei Office, Re-am etc.

Get damper adjustable if your really fussy and soften it up when just daily driving

Money isn't going to be the issue - it's the nut behind the wheel that will be the issue. When you get into uber high $$$ suspension components, you either need an engineering degree or years of experience to figure out what settings will be best and the quickest way to tune those settings. For a novice, the KISS method is the best for track & daily driving. The KISS method is: Keep It Simple Stupid.

There are alot of things that are easy to screw up with double adjustable threaded coil-overs, adjustable front and rear sta-bars, and other doo-dads. Read, no memorize, the Caroll Smith books and get as much auto-x and HPDE seat time you can get. If $$$ isn't an option, go to a pro driving school. I guarantee $3,000 spent at a pro driving school will yeild quicker lap times than a $3,000 suspension system with a novice driver behind the wheel.

My recommendation would be stock spings, new bushings (urethane), stock sta-bars, and a set of Bilsteins. You'd really be suprised how much a car can perform in near stock trim with a great driver and you may be equally suprised by how much tire compounds and alignment settings can positively and negatively affect performance. I'd invest the $$$ in yourself and update worn suspension items, like bushings and dampners, and get a good alignment (like 0 toe in the front for better turn in).

You must first define what's "best" for you so that people can make intelligent suggestions. I agree, driver training is the best thing.

As for suspensions, JRZ, Ohlins, Moton, Penke (don't know if they do struts) and Koni (the 2812, 2817) amongst others all make top of the line super duper dampers that will be the "best", but be prepared to spend over $4000 just for the shocks. That's what you pay for a top of the line double (or more) adjustable monotube suspension. Custom fabrication may/will also be required, and the ancilliary bits will also be required (alignment parts, pilloball mounts, bushings and race springs).

a nice shock/spring combo with new bushings and MAYBE some new sway bars would provide probably the best bang for your buck. especially if its a DD/ weekend racer.

Im just going with KYB agx's (5 way adjustable) and some tein S-techs or some similiar spring. I have front and rear strut bars. ordered new rear upper strut mounts because mine were worn.

You dont need the full adjustability of coilovers unless your constantly at the track.

Go to some local autox's. Get some experience and then figure out what is being lacked.

Tein Flex. Best bang for the buck with serviciing in America.

Tein flex would be probably the best choice.Also another interesting setup would be RS*R race springs and adjustable shocks(Tokiko/KYB's/Koni's).They are comparable to the tein flex's in spring rates. The flex's are 6/5 Kg-mm front/rear respectively and the RS*R's are 6/4.The RS*R's offer a nice even stance/drop and with a rear camber adjuster would be probably the best bang for the buck.
