i know with a full out race car, the teams are gonna needs parts that are gonna have to go thru some extreme conditions, which, the reliability and perfomance of the parts, i'm sure can add up to be well over 15k, and like you said, even up to 50k+

but when i read the OP, i was thinking the person was trying to put parts like these onto your everyday car, which is not needed in any way, shape, or form of any sort. but more of mainly for some extremely high dollar, and outstanding perfomance machines, which are far from being made for the street.
The ironic part is you will rarely see a competitive S2000 on a track in the US, mainly because of the way they are classed.

The OP said, "but there is NO way you can justify FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS for coilovers! Racing or not...." That's where he was incorrect. Granted that is a stretch for an S2k since they aren't a very competitive race car because of the classes they get put in here. Now a spec s2000 race would be an incredible event!!
