I had also looked at the RCEs but the lowering camber plates confused me a bit as I'm not going for a stance build and I was also attracted to the inverted front shocks of the HKSs. What do you guys think?
Without having any personal experience with RCEs offerings, I can't compare directly. What interests me most about them is the lowering top hats allow you to run a lower ride height while increasing suspension travel. There is probably half an inch of additional stroke from the RCE coils over what HKS offers at similar ride heights, if not more.

It should also be noted that the HKS coilovers I had are GT and a previous generation so even they are going to be notably different from your current generation SP. I'd let someone with more experience with RCEs offerings chime in on this point.
