Thanks for doing that before hand!

Also thanks for listing what your goals and intentions are, I hate when people just say "Hey what suspensions should I get?"
For posting a good question I'll do my best to give you a response that fits your intentions. So here goes.
First if your goal is to lower the car why do you need a new set of coil overs? A lowering spring kit will achieve your goal at a lower price point for a high quality kit.
With coil overs you get what you pay for. Most of the cheaper kits have no quality control and you will get the right front coil over that set to full hard behave like the left front set to full soft. Its like turning dials on a mystery box because that's exactly like how the dials on those coil overs will work.
IMO I'd go with:
1. Eibach lower kit
2. Hotchkiss anti roll bars, really only need to front
3. Front end links because the OEM ones are weak
4. Front and rear camber adjustable camber arms to correct the camber from the ride height change.
For links and arms I recommend SPL Parts but any manufacturer should be fine since you are just on the street.
If must get coil overs you should look in the 2-3k range. This is where you start getting something that isn't worse then OEM. KWv3, BILSTEIN B16, or MCS 1-WNR.
