Looking to move away from ksport

[Cope]

So now that I've went through a transmission and clutch in my gen2, im looking to unfuck the rest of the mods that were installed prior to myself owning the car. Main one being the suspension.

I just have some questions and was hoping for feedback. Right now it has adjustable coilovers from ksport. I dont really like how low the car is, as id prefer something more performance than to be a camber bro. So suggestions would be helpful..
Ive looked at CS, JBR, and a few others but i dont have a huge knowledge of whats available or vendors.

Id like to be lower than stock, without camber. So i guess i should ask, is that possible with the aftermarket camber arms and camber plates? Or is that a waste.. maybe a suspension system other than bags thatll be just right? Help me out fellas.

aftermarket coils and good shocks remain hassle free than any other cheap aluminium c-o ....if you can find a used set of road magnet coils, take them...or check for spring rate rather than ride height...
Rear camber arms with adjustment are needed for sure and maybe on front too but some can figure it out by slotting the top 3 holes a bit or some special control arm bushing when most peoples just leave it there for the front...

Ive been thumbing theough forum as much as i can trying to find as much as i can. Didnt want to settle and drink the kool aid with the corksport parts if theres something better for the money out there ya know. Found a bilstein set and will definitely be getting the adjustable rear camber arms.

My ksport coilovers are currently jacked almost all the way up and its still pretty low.

Preciate the input though. Slowly but surely finding parts to piece everything together.

If you search the forum there's a lot of praise for the Bilstein B8/Swift combo. I went from KW V1s to BC coils, to Bilstein B8/Swifts. B8 combo was the best imo. Linear springs, stiff but comfortable ride, and only ~1in drop from stock.

Im leaning towarda a bilstein package. The option to go lower is nice to have but ill also be driving through parts of new orleans for work, and being too low on louisiana roads just isnt an option lol worst roads ive ever been on.

Ive been exploring the forum for alot. Takes some time but im slowly finding more and more about things i wanna swap. That camber just eats tires too fast for my liking. The car was bought with all the mods and coming from driv8ng almost nothing but Chevrolet, im a noob.

The bilstein/swift was a ~1in drop i believe. I'm not sure how bad Louisiana is but with this height I was able to drive in winter onto a frozen lake to race the car. I was also able to drive through unplowed farmland mostly unharmed (aside from my front lip). If that's still too low, the stock springs have good rates and with aftermarket shocks would probably handle well.

I have -3 camber on my second car and I find toe to be worse on tires even with proper rotations. Once you raise your car up the negative camber will sort itself out
