I recently read somewhere that the Bilstein's can start losing some of their rate as early as 10k with lowering springs. Not sure how true that is, but I also know that they are not ideally valved for lowered setups

FWIW...I had 88 K on my Bilsteins when I lowered with BMR springs. Yes, I've got to be careful with speed bumps and driveways, but I'm very happy with the ride...I love the feel/ride of a lowered car!

Dude, $400 is dirt cheap for good shocks on a performance car.
You've got the money for a blower setup thats only useful when going WOT with the car but not the money for shocks that you will notice 100% of the time when driving the car?
What is your tire pressure at? Did you do any other mods at the same time as the springs?

Your SFC's could be a big part of your problem. I noticed a big increase in impact harshness after I had them installed. And that car continues to ride rougher than the other ones I've owned and driven.
But the BMR lowering springs are going to increase NVH somewhat over the stockers. You could try re-installing the stockers in the rear and see if you notice a difference before making the commitment to do the fronts.
15k Bilsteins ARE NOT your problem unless they are defective. I have nearly 100k on my rears and they are still perfect.
