Default Need Help/Opinions...

Awhile back (approx. 2 months) I was going down the street and hit a piece of raised pavement with the right front tire. It hit so hard that it slightly bent my right front fender. I took my car yesterday to get an alignment and was told that my aligment couldn't be more perfect however my car sits approx. 1/8" - 1/4" lower on the right front now causing slight rubbing issues when I turn into my drive way. I was told that my front sway bar might be twisted or that the valving in my right front strut may have been damaged. The car still drives perfect except for rubbing issues when I go in my drive way. I aked the guy what would he suggest as far as new struts and he told me to go with Bilsteins. As I look through the threads and search, I've found very few people with this setup on their car. What would you suggest as a replacement for the stock struts and Espelir Active Super Down springs. I love my drop and the feel of the car. I get compliments all the time about my drop and how nice it looks. I really don't want to change my setup but I need to do something to prevent further damage. I've never had a "coilover" setup because I 'm not that complicated. I'd rather set it and forget it. What are your suggestions? Should I just replace the front 2 struts with OEM or should I go with a coilover setup. Will the Espelir Active Super Down springs work nicely on Koni Yellows or would another strut be better? I'm not rich and I want the best bang for the buck. I want an aggressive stance and performance ride. Sorry for the lack of grammar correction but I'm in kind of a hurry here at work. I have to jump on jump off when possible. Hope you understand.

I honestly don't know much about the Bilsteins for the S, but the Koni Yellows are an awesome shock and should compliment your springs just fine IMO, without killing your bank account for a full coilover. However don't give up on a full coilover as to thinking it is complicated, it is a "set and forget" item as well.

Thanks for the input... anyone else care to add something. <--- After reading the statement it could blown out of context. This is not a smart ass response just for future reference.
