This looks like total ramble, but there are actually questions in here, lol. Thanks in advance everyone.

SO...I've searched and read, both here and google, countless threads, thought for hours, no luck. So here's my question/dilemma. Swifts/Koni combo or BC coilovers (true rear) with swift spring upgrade, is the decision i need to make. Im getting a great price going either way. With them i'm purchasing a complete Stoptech brake kit front and rear. Im also looking at either SPL camber arms or the SPC performance arms with xaxis, but considering if I go SPL i still need the lockout kit as toe bolts so i'd be paying around $150 more for the SPL vs the SPC performance arms(not the regular bent looking SPC camber arms). At this point i've already blown my $1500-1600 budget on this order and realize i want some spacers.

So initially i'd be more cost effective to go Swift/Koni combo since i'd only be doing the front Koni shocks since the rears would be easy to do down the line and it would help put some cash into other parts, but I would eventually need the Koni rear shocks which then either option Swift/Koni vs BC/swift upgrade will be basically priced evenly, BC/swift upgrade being about $100 more. I'm doing the complete Stoptech kit since I need new pads and would need to have the stock rotors turned, so ball out...right lol!?

The only reason i'm indecisive on which combo is the fact that 50% of the pictures I see with swifts on they look perfect,the other 50% look not low enough. And i'm not about getting low, but I do have my preferred stance, which the Swifts very much ride that line, I don't want to budget ball the f out and go...crap i'm in the 50% of where it doesn't look low enough. But I know if I go the bc/swift route i'm really going to lower it to the point where people will think im on swift springs lol. Plus going the BC/Swift route there's a lead time for build on them and more cash up front. But I'd get my custom spring rates, valving and they'd be true rear coilovers.

So with camber arms, I want SPL, but for the extra cost ($368 arms,lookout kit, toe bolts) above the SPC performance($229 complete with arms,lockout kit, and toe bolts, remember not the normal SPC) camber arms do I need them on a DD/weekend warrior setup? I mean dayum the SPL are great, but $140 better?

And i want/need 20mm/25mm spacers lol.

So again my initial budget was $1500-1600 on this order but would really, really, really, really like it to stay around $2000, what would you guys suggest. I mean I know it's my car my money, but i'm sure many of you have bought stuff and realized you either needed better or could've been fine going with something i bit more inexpensive. And I know people have their own preference, im not any different, but honestly how many of you swift spring guys really wished you were a bit lower, or am i just not getting a good look at the pictures!? I mean like i said when I look at people's pictures, for me it's 50/50 on how perfect the stance is vs it's not quite low enough.

Thanks for your help in advance everyone and wanted to very much thank Josh with Kamispeed since he's the guy dealing with my indecisiveness and has been great to deal with.
