I think adjustable height and adjustable dampening are BOTH overkill for street use. You will never use it for what it's designed for, but like I always say if I had a choice between adjuable height or dampening I'd much rather have dampening. For a "bolt-in" kit you should look into H&R's Cup Kit that comes with matched springs & struts but are NOT adjustable in any way. Another option would be using the Eibach's if you still have them with good adjustable struts. If you want true coilovers it's all on how much your willing to spend, price reflects quality when it comes to suspension. You could get something like Omni's for dirt cheap or spend over $3,000 for Toda's.
www.modacar.com has a wide variety.
I'm not a fan of urethane bushing kits on street cars, they are harsh & noisy. Plus they are a PAIN IN THE ASS to install unless the car is brand new. We charge on average 10hrs of labor for full bushing kit installs. Mugen sells full rubber kits which are better suited for street use, but still a pain to install.
