If you've ever driven down the road and seen some ricer in a slammed whip that hits a bump in the road and the car starts bouncing back and forth as his teeth are being jarred, that's what happens with springs/struts, at least the lowest setups. Coilovers offer a much better ride (they come stock on things like Porsches, BMWs, Ferraris, Astons, etc) and you will have the adjust-ability to raise and lower the car as you see fit, again, allowing you to dial in for the specific conditions you are racing. The $2000 is the high end, should you choose the Silks or KW's, but Megans/Teins/3rd one escapes me, are all right about $800-$1200, and a relatively easy to install. If not, round up some gearhead friends that like to drink. You'd be surprised at how much work your friends will do whilst you stand around and drink beer with them and shoot the shit, all you have to do is supply the booze.
tokico blues and some stiff lowering springs will out valve the generic CRAP coilovers every day of the week. Tein/Ksport/Megan/D2.. it's all generic crap.

just wait til Koni gets y'all an insert! oh man, you guys are gonna be in heaven!
