"who makes who" remains a mistery.... 
So I guess there are two choices that some people a vouched for:
Megan Racing Spec : 12k front and 14k rear
BC coilovers : 10k front and 10k rear
correct?
I would be hesitant about putting stiffer springs in the back though...

What about upgrading to CR parts?
Like I said at the end of my post, there is more than one way to skin a cat.
I'd definitely look into a new wheel/tire combo, strut/spring combo and maybe some new stabilizer bars and weigh those against a full coil setup.
Not only will you be improving lateral g's with those, a new wheel/tire combo and a drop is an added visual benefit that you won't achieve with just a set of coils.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the only differences to the CR are stickier rubbers, bigger stabilizer bars, stiffer springs, and re-valved dampers? Finding those parts used is either going to be expensive or hard to do when compared to buying new aftermarket, or even used aftermarket to save a little bit of cash.

I'm currently running Espilir ASD's with Koni Yellow Sports and I absolutely love the setup. I have done 2 autocross events and it handled like a champ. You can adjust the ride to soft - stiff for track/daily driving and it has another spring seat to lower the car another 1/2" All in all I payed about $600 for the springs/Koni's.

Yeah but you will be getting actual factory-engineered performance parts instead of coil overs "with a sick drop."
CR parts are going to be overpriced and under perform when compared to similarly priced components... The only CR parts I might buy would be the upgraded stab bars, even then, I'd still probably end up getting aftermarket units.
