Thanks for all your help ashmostro. I have decided to go with coilovers because of the height adjustability.

Do you happen to know which is better... Oem style coilovers or "true" coilovers?

Thanks.

I don't know definitively actually. I posed that question here a while back and there were crickets

Which are you looking into?

Looking at Stance coilovers since those are in my budget and str not manufactured in China. Just not sure if I should order OEM style or true coilovers.

So called true supposedly are easier to height adjust. That said, stance and similar priced could don't have the best damping valving. I've read mixed reviews on them. It's a you get what you pay for kind of thing...

I should also have added the argument against "true" could is that the shock towers in the rear weren't designed to be constantly load bearing so it may not be ideal in the long run. I have no data to confirm or deny that though... Just putting it all out there.
