bilstien vs. everything else.

Iv'e been searching alot and I'm stuck in a between getting bilstiens or getting a really good coil over system with upper pillow mounts,I've looked at b and g, jic,h and r, practically everything.
my car has neuspeed sports spring
neuspeed front strut bar
neuspeed x-brace
carbing lower tie bar
front and rear energy sway bar bushings

My shock or coil over has to be really strong because my wheels are like 25 pounds each

another reason why i wanna get a coilover system is because I bottomed out a few times wit my car and chipped some paint off the front neuspeed spring

I also attached a pic.

I think i'm gonna go wit the ksports, but why does the ep3 version have a rear pillow mount and the em2 doesn't?
I might just end up getting the ep3 version if it fits.
Would u guy mind the stiffer rear springs?
I need some opinions on this to clear up my head.

k sports are not bulletproof, they are generic stuff.

Stick with the neuspeed sports and add either konis or bilsteins.

Um.... Buletproof doesnt tell me any thing (No one wants a suspension that falls apart...)

Is this a street car? Compition? Is ride quality a primary concern? Ect ect ect....

and I second Robbs recomendation.

for street.alot of commuting.instead of getting a full coilover system i'm just gonna get bilsteins or dspecs then with the extra money ill be getting a megan exhaust,ingalls rear camber kit,front and rear energy control arm bushings,

I've bottomed out quite a few times wit my neuspeed sports and i've had them for about a year u think they are still in good shape? ive chipped some paint coating off the front springs from bottoming out,

how much life do u think neuspeed springs have?
