Any input will be appreciated

Pfadt and pedders I can't afford right now

BC coilovers are the most affordable at under $1,000 shipped. They are said to be the same exact ones as some higher priced ones, just a different label.

That's what I might upgrade to for the extra strut clearance.

A BIG +1. When it comes to coil overs there are the cheap coil overs and then there are the "good" coil overs. That being said, just because they are expensive doesn't mean they are good.

I have had BC on my car for almost a year now. I can't really compare them to other coilovers because they are only ones I've had. However, I've had no issues with them at all. With the proper settings my car rides better than when I had Hotchkis drop springs. For what I do, mostly daily drive with occassional Auto-X and Drag race, they've worked just fine. Would the other brands work/perform better....possibly....but I didn't want to spend an additional $1,600 or so to find out. I bought gears instead.

Mine cost me $1,000 + tax + install + alignment. About $1,400 total.
