Do I just save for coils or can I get away with STI/ Tein springs?

I have the Aero bodykit with a front splitter and am currently 11.5mm from the ground on stock ride height with 18” wheels on 235 tyres. I have an angled driveway and would scrape on an angle every day when I was on my 17” wheels so I believe anything over 15mm will be too low for me.

I daily drive, my commute is fairly bumpy in one area (not an issue on my current height but I had to be careful when I was on the smaller wheels). It’s hard for me to justify the cost of coils unless it’s REALLY worth it as I don’t care to mess around with camber. I just want to close the fender gap slightly and retain a similar ride quality

Any recommendations on what I do?
