I'm pretty new to suspension stuff, so I'm not really aware of the cost, but I do care about ride quality and I'll spend more if I have to. Thanks for the help

I don't know what you mean by "lowering springs were looked down upon"? Yeah, there's a lot of bad quality lowering spring kits too. General rule of thumb, don't buy parts off Wish, eBay, or AliExpress manufactured in China and you're already on a good path to avoid a lot of the bad stuff (but not all of it).
Given you already have PP, you can just get the RCE Yellow kit. It has upgraded bump stops that work with the lowered ride height, which is an important consideration. The combo kit from RCE also comes with rear LCAs and front camber bolts to allow for you to get a proper alignment after lowering. Find a decent alignment shop local to you so you can get a good alignment, don't go to a chain tire store as most will just "toe n go" your car.
Based on your goals and budget, and the fact you have a PP car, you should go for RCE Yellows.
As others have mentioned though, by all means please do as much research on your own as you can before buying stuff.
