Unhappy Need help on suspension setup!

Can't decide between the two setups i have in mind. It maybe comparing apples to oranges to some. It's between..

- Megan Ez (new) + rca 30mm (new, f&r)
- Bilstein sport (new) + df210 (used) + rca 30mm (new, f&r)

My goal is to eliminate wheel gap all around without sacrificing ride comfort while increasing handling performance. I don't want to slam my gs. My wheel setup is 19x8.5 +28 19/35/225 & 19x9.5 +30 19/35/235. Keep in mind this is my daily and on a budget.. Thank you

Coilovers over shock/spring setup any day and with the coil you don't even need the RCA's because Megan's can dump if you need them too. You'll be saving yourself $400.

Regardless of what setup i'm going for rca's will stay in the equation. I dont want to put too much stress on the lower ball joints. Thanks for your opinion though!
