Use the cash towards some bilstein dampers to go with your current springs, cheap suspension kits =  :sick:

Get them bought.  Budget coilovers are fine if its for looks and your not heading to track days.  The FK's go low, a good bit lower than your current set up.

I ran fk coilovers for a week, and that was only because it took me 5 days to take delivery of some replacements.
I found them far too crashy and bumpy, not a comfortable ride at all.
Save your money for something better, PM  me if you would be interested in my AP coilovers, very good kit.
