Default Which coilovers to get for which application?

I'm interested in getting coilovers to improve the overall handling of the car. Prefer a setup that dials in slight oversteer that can easily be corrected by driver input, as opposed to needing other modifications to correct the oversteer from said oversteer-prone setup (dunno if that made sense or not).

Am I to understand that different coilover setups are geared toward different types of usage, such as some coilovers better for auto-x, some better for circuit types of tracks, etc?

My usage would be for daily driving (35 mile commute) as well as driving on drift tracks (1/month) and also at HPDE's (3-4/year).

I tried typing in "coilovers" in search, but it did not come up with anything to answer my query.

What recommendations do you guys have, and the reasons for your choice?

This would probably a be a good question to ask in the racing and competition section.

I would guess that one of the first suggestions will be that you get an adjustable lower sway bar. This alone can help to dial in the oversteer characteristics you want. A good alignment will also do wonders.
