You can shorten bumpstops, they're not sacred and only a couple bucks to buy new ones from the factory if you regret it.

I have RCE Yellows on my car;

in my opinion, the car rides like stock is is only a tad bit stiffer over large bumps. Highly recommend, but as others have said you could also look into the TRD springs (rebranded eibach pro) or similar.

a mate of mine got new coilovers so im gonna throw on his old set for a little bit to decide if i wanna get some. im not looking into putting a whole ton of money right now but if i need to i will. im just wondering a decent price daily driver setup is? what else is a must with coilovers? i wanna lower about 1.2 or 1.3 inches and keep close to stock camber as much as possible so what will i need up front? will camber bolts be enough? and what about the rears? will i need lca or can i get whiteline camber bolt kit for the rear and be enough? just wanna get an idea for everything i need to have a good setup and if anyone else recommends other parts to correct the camber let me know please.

I’ve been doing research for days now. I believe I am going to go with ST coilovers rather than going with springs.

It seems like you already know most of this but..

If you’re going with coilovers you don’t technically need anything, but it will make you have negative camber. So to get rid of that camber yes you are right, for the rear LCAs work great. For the front it depends. Do your coilovers come with camber plates? If so you won’t need crash bolts.

However, a little bit of negative camber isn’t horrible according to what I have been reading. But I myself plan on getting LCAs

If I am incorrect about any of this someone please correct me.
