1500 bucks for that set, anyone know of something cheaper that will do the job? I'm more worried about asthetics, I don't road race or anything, thanks.

Why would you want coilovers for asthetics?

If it's ride height you care about, just cut the coils on your stock springs. Can't get much cheaper.

As the first post says, I'm tired of one side sagging. On top of that I'm VERY tired of the right side rubbing with people in the car. On a side note, what's the best way to get rid of wheel hop?

You are not gonna jack up the car and adjust ride height everytime you take on a passenger. Coil overs are a performance shock setup

You need an air bag ...
