Coilovers with custom spring rates... Suggesting Koni depending on how high of spring rate you choose to compensate for the added trunk weight in the rear. Get the correct spring rate, from there get the ride height that fits what you want...
700 is decent. I just upgraded my springs to h&r, 4 new tires, alignment, bumpstops, oem rubber top hat mounts, and other small misc suspension parts for around 600 total. I'd recommend koni yellow's with ground control coilovers if you want to dump it. Otherwise, koni yellow and h&r springs.

From what I understand, you can send the coilovers back to F&F and change your spring rates for free as long as you buy them from an authorized dealer. So if you wanted to go 8K, then that would be a problem.

Don't fall victim to the hype of "654567-way adjustable" dampers. Save a little more and get a quality setup like Koni + GC. Koni Sport shocks are infinitely adjustable for rebound, as there are no set stops in the adjustment range (about 1.75 turns from full soft to full stiff). Also save your money by skipping camber kits. With a competent 4-wheel alignment, they won't be needed. Toe kills tires, NOT camber.
