right suspension set-up for me?

    usage for the car: mainly daily drive and considering auto-x. i`d like a confident street car, where the car is agile but still soft enough to absorb bumps and carry people around.

    tires: running on craptastic kumho right now, but will be going back to the likes of hankook ventus rs2, RT615, (performance summer).

    current set-up: prodrive blue springs, stock struts, perrin swaybars front and rear, rear on softest, front on stiff, whiteline steering rack bushings, kartboy endlinks in the rear.

    what i would like: i`m not gonna lie, I care about how it will look and for me the front drop from the prodrive is perfect, i just want the rear to drop more for a even look. i plan on getting 18x8.5 rims and i want the flush, slammed look (flame suit on) without the harsh ride. but i dont want to go too much lower in the front than where i am already. i also want to get rid of the bouncyness i`m getting from the prodrives (granted i have 130k miles on the car with stock struts), but the spring itself is too low and too soft.

    i was considering:
    RCE black + 04 sti struts with lowering camber plates (but i dunno if i`ll achieve the ride height that i want although this set-up would firm up everything without being too harsh and have enough suspension travel for street)

    coilover
    the only one i have driven is JIC magic ones, and there is NO way i can drive that everyday. although i would like to have the height adjustability and maybe for the amount of money i`ll spend on buying the stuff i have listed above, i could just get away with buying a set of coilover and set it on full soft...but which one then?
