i have the air ride technologies 9-way dampening air ride suspension now. but want to change to a full coilover set or a strut/spring set up. what combo would give me the best stiff ride control but also be the lowest as well? i keep my ride height to where im tucking the top of my tires in the fenders and i am rolling on 16x7!

lowest drop is not going to be the best setup for autox. best for handling is with your control arms parallel to the ground.
i run tein ss coilovers with front and rear addco sways and strut tower braces (front and rear as well). also have the rksport subframe brace, misnblu trunk brace, and poly control arm bushings. my car runs pretty competitively at the local autox's. one other thing to keep in mind when autox'ing is pick a class you want to run and build for it. just adding a bunch of suspension work can put you in a class you won't be competitive in...

Very well said.
Ben because of the look and performance you are wanting a good coilover set-up would be best, and not a spring and strut set-up. A good coilover set-up will allow you to get the look for everyday driving you want, and then allow you to adjust for autoX. I would recommend going to some autoX events talking with people, and do lots of reading on the classes.
