3,000$ for suspension

Okay so i have been searching, and im still undecided.
I got a BBK from k sport and i really like them. now im going for suspension

Scenerio: the stock height doesnt bother me. imo its already low and looks good. i recently put a sound system (pretty heavy) in the trunk. Oh when i put the BBK i had to put 25mm spacers and roll my fenders. everything was fine until i put the system and now at turns or bumps my rear wheels is eating my rear fender. (this isnt my DD so its not that damaged). however its annoying not wanting to drive it cause of its problem.

So i was thinking of getting Air ride for carshows but i read it ruins the suspension. so Im not really sure about that option.
now im looking at coilovers. I dont want to just do the rear. i might as well do both since the car sits at 70k miles.
got 3,000$ and i want something just as good or better than the rx8 suspension. i am saving for a swap so i can track it in the future. So what suspension would you buy for 3k???

anyone heard of k sport coilovers being good?
Thank you and excuse my lack of knowledge

For what you are wanting to do, you only need to spend $1,000 on a Bilstein B14 PSS coilover kit. If you want to go crazy, Ohlins is one of the best and what I have. Goodwin racing sells the set for a little over $2300.
