Default From Air to Coilovers

I'm thinking about selling off my air suspension and getting coilovers in the near future. I'm a total nubcake when it comes to coilovers but i've installed springs on a few cars and i installed my own air suspension.

Anyhow, i know that i want Japanese coilovers. I already have the Cusco upper camber mounts, so I should just get Cusco coils right? From what i've read up so far, it seems that the HKS coils have the lowest spring rate and they have a nice height range. But the Cusco's spring rates aren't too much higher it seems to me. I do want to be slammed as much as possible. With my air suspension I ride as low as i can without constant rubbing lol. My rear fenders are cut and i could run with any coilovers as low as they can get in the rear (i won't though), the front i'm looking for a 3"~ drop.

Can I get the Cusco wagon coilovers or something without the camber plates? Since i already have them, should save some $$???

Thanks

Not sure ... my first install was "ghetto". Good parts, but i just threw it together the best i could. I'm actually getting a brand new set of FBI brackets from Phil (at FBI) and i'm thinking of re-doing my whole install. Everything hidden and no leaks ... nice and clean

Not any upkeep at all, just i am driving a lot of miles lately (temporary) and i thought i should sell it and go with a static drop ... but since i uninstalled everything i miss it and i can't stand the stock suspension haha
