OEM shocks going bad

So im beginning to feel real bouncy and my mechanic is telling me my shocks are wearing out. Its time for some new ones. right now im running on 245/35 all around. My plan was to upgrade my OEM rays to some 20's. But i feel its more important to get shocks first. I also want a drop so im definetly going to get coilover. Im not a drifter or a harsh driver. What kind of coilovers do you guys recommend? I'm looking at MDU and BC right now. Anyone who mentions TEIN can go **** themselves lol If I'm going to get some 20's in the future how much of a drop should i do? I want an aggressive stance and if i rub ill cut my fenders or roll them. I' not looking to spend a grand on coilovers if I'm not a harsh driver. Let me know guys

BC's. You will probably need camber kits too.

SPC/w toe bolt for the rear, and either SPC or SPL for the front. If you plan on slamming the car then go with SPL in the front.

^If everything is installed properly then no. And yes you can have SPC for both, just make sure you get the toe bolt for the rear as well.

Would a kit be needed if I stayed at stock height?

^Probably not. Get the suspension you want, adjust to desired height, then take it in for an alignment to see if you require camber kits. Most people lower their cars as much as they can which ultimately requires the kits.
