You have to remember that you can't drop the car more than about 1-1.5'' with PSS9s without sacrificing ride quality. They're not full body adjustable.

OP: If you want to slam the car, don't get any coilover that's not full body adjustable.

You can probably get a set of Buddy Club RSDs without the pillowball mounts for a little over a grand. Or just settle with Megans.

I am also in the market for a nice set of coilovers, I've heard good things about the BC N+, for the price point, and the ability to lower the ride high significantly. Ksports, I'd probably shy away from, most of what I heard about them has not been very good. Megans seem to get decent ratings as well.

I'd love to get some Tein flexes, PSS9's, or KW V3's but the price points on them are significantly higher about 30-50% higher than the above mentioned models.

Apexi ExV.

Seems like youre not doing anything too crazy so these should be fine. I had them before and just like you - I wanted something to lower the car, these worked perfectly and I liked the stiffness. I even took them to track a couple times, again nothing too crazy though.
