Default 5.0 Coilovers

Need some help, fairly new 2011 5.0 owner, love my car to death. I want to slam it though (Yes i know, stupid but ive always wanted to slam my car) so im looking for a good set of coilovers for under $1500. I want them to go very low, and if it sacrifices performance a little thats not that much of a problem to me because i can always go back to my Tokiko D Specs before i go back to the track.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Also if you have any pictures of your car on coils, post a pic of it, even if its not a 5.0

ive heard the d2 coils dont hold up very well on street use only, but that is definitely one of my options

Let me ask why you want COs vs a good set of matching springs and shocks. You can get the same results for cheaper yes?

Take a look at the BC coilovers or ST suspension coilovers. They both have the ability to slam your car and are both much less than 1500.

I've heard good things about Air Ride suspensions if you're into the slammed look.
