Check out, and search Nico for, SPL's coilovers. They're supposedly a lot better than the Tein Flex (what I have) for about the same cost; if I'm not mistaken they're easier to deal with when rebuild time comes.

MR coilovers - don't waste your money, get some kyb's and rsr'sfront and rear sway bars - whiteline adjustablesfront tie rod ends - don't bother unless they are brokenz32 tie rods - samesubframe bushing collars - spl = 85$subframe brace set - don't botherrear toe arms - don't bother

extra:

stb - 3 point stb for fronthard mounted tc rods (heim jointed adjustables)

Just my 2 cents, unless you race the car, you don't need coilovers to be cool.

You might consider some decent top mounts.

Coilovers typically come with top mounts. shock spring combinations do not. as a daily driver, you do not want coilovers if you drive very far. go drive a car with them before you commit to purchasing them. kyb's with rsr's will get you the height you want and good stiffness for daily driving and autocross.
