I figure I'll drive the car for a while and then decide if I want sway bars to adjust the liveliness of the rear.

Not a bad plan as well

Compared to a similarly priced coilover, the Koni + RCE Yellow set-up gives up height adjustability for a much higher quality damper. IMO that's a much more important priority as it's the foundation for the suspension and VERY noticeable on real world roads.
Yes you get stiffer springs with budget coilovers...but do you want stiff springs on a poor damper for a 90% street car? Eh. I'd rather a fast, FUN, reliable and simple shock + springs combo.

It seems to me like a lot of people forgot springs and shocks as separates existed because no on had shocks out yet, so a lot of vendors and enthusiasts are/were pushing coilovers.
I've done the coilover thing, I've done the spring/shock combo thing.
Ultimately, I've learned over the years my own tastes and this combo suits them.
