do some research before you buy. a large part of the forum is on koni/gc for one reason. under $1000 nothing will touch its flexibility. rates and rebound are adjustable with this combo. the PIC apex which is the same price offers some rate changes to be made but no damper adjustibility. either of which is a great $800 suspension by the way.

With coilovers you will need high quality shocks to handle the stiff spring rates, like Koni Sport or Tokico Illumina. Tokico HP's or KYB AGX are NOT suitable for use with adjustable coilovers.
Also remember that you will need an alignment every time you adjust the ride height, due to toe changing when ride height changes. And toe is what kills tires. Don't waste money on camber kits, because you don't need them as long as the toe is adjusted to stock specs. See my sticky post in this forum for more info on that.
