Coilovers for around 1k

Honestly unless you are a track nut coils are kind of overkill... seriously - your car will never drive as well as it did stock unless you spend a LOT of time fine tuning it to your driving. How I like to think of these things is:
1. Drive it stock figure out what needs to change
2. Adjust most of your oversteer / understeer tendencies w/ some sways that are ratio'd between the front and back appropriately
3. Once you get used to how 1 and 2 feel - if you still need more very specific fine tuning - go for the coils.

Sounds like you are in it more for the looks - honestly i would save my money and get a pair of really good lowering springs and whatever else you need to fix your alignment etc. Coils will be a pain unless you know exactly what you want and can do it yourself as well...
