Need help choosing strut/spring or coilover for FD

I have searched and read many threads on the koni/(eibach,rsr, racing beat etc) setup and aslo on the tein super sport or the apexi evx. In the end it seems the strut/spring combo will be close to a set of teins or apexis if i buy new.

My car is a DD, and the suspension will only be for street use, NO drifting ,autox or track time - thats for a different car All im really trying to accomplish is eliminate fender gap from the wheels i put on. When buying the suspension will i be able to lower the rear more than the front? As the rear sits higher than the front, but i only want to lower the ride hight in the front about .3in. So is it worth the extra $100 or $200 to go to the coilovers or should i just stay with the strut/spring combo? The koni yellows are very highly praised here, would anyone recommend any other setup.


thanks

I have H and R springs and Bilstien struts i Looooove it but it may be too agressive for what you are looking for the car sits very low it is stiff and handles like a dream i only use it for streat use and to be honest i feel like the ride is pretty good for as stiff as it is
