What I don't like is the fact that I had to run a 3mm spacer in front to fit these without hitting the oem spring perch. I'm hoping that with a coilover I can actually get a performance alignment and get some beneficial negative camber in front. Additionally, even though I want to only keep my drop around 20mm, I will be also picking up the SPC LCAs to adjust rear camber.
Regarding handling & damper performance, I don't like how "unsettled" the car feels over rough road conditions at high speeds or through mid corner bumps. If I only drove my car on the track I'd keep the Yellows with the oem dampers as they're great on perfectly smooth surfaces.
There's a few canyon roads that I drive on that I will bottom out/scrape the front of the car every time because the dampers can't rebound quickly enough to the changing road condition. So that's primarily what I'm looking to address.
And yes, I will take performance over comfort any day.

Based on your feedback, you'll want coilovers with a camber plate, or separate camber plates with coilovers that don't include them.
If you want the current "bang for the buck", the Flex Z is my current go-to. It's $870 MSRP, and includes camber plates, AND rides well, and performs above its price point, even disregarding that it includes camber plates. Pair this with the rear LCA, and you'll have a pretty solid entry level setup.
If you're tracking the car, you'll want to consider the SPL RLCA.
