With the Bilstein + RCE Yellow set-up you get a quality, durable, rebuildable damper and mild drop performance spring. No height adjustability, but if you're not the type to slam the car really low, a 20mm drop is a good place to be for comfort and performance.
Add some camber bolts, rear LCAs, a good alignment, a few key bushings, and you've got yourself a great all around street set-up that would still be a lot of fun on the track if you found yourself there OR just really fun to tear up back roads. Fast, fun, and easy to drive.
EDIT: I'm not the type of person that just assumes all coilovers are automatically better than a good spring + strut combo. I've had experience with the full range of options at all price ranges. That said, there are a few coilovers out there that would work for you but IMO the strut + spring combo is a really good fit.

Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Do you actually think it would improve ride quality though? And about how much would that set up cost me?
