This. IMO, the GC Koni single adjustable kits are damn good for the money, but I wouldn't go beyond 650F/700R springs. Their SAE hardware does frustrate the hell out of me though. TC Kline is also good, but is somewhat more expensive last I checked.

Good idea, at minimum upgrade the FCABs the RTABs. Check all other mounts and bushings, especially engine and trans mounts.
I wanna start by saying that in no way am I fan of BC coils but for the money I can't argue that they are a good option. The only problem I see with them is build quality, other than that you can get a DA coilover custom valved with linear race springs (of your choice) with the option for a true rear coilover. They also come with RSM's and camber plates. You get all that for the same price as a GC/koni setup that you still have to buy plates and RSM's for. So I think for the money and as a beginner setup they could be a good choice.
FK Konigsports or FK SilverLine Plus X both use Koni adjustable shocks (great quality and easy to dial in), the Konigsports are very budget friendly. You can check out both HERE
I have the best setup for 500 bucks raceland fronts b&g springs the rear with bilstein sports.. Sway bars and powerflex poly bushings up front handles like a beast
Please stop. If you came into tech inspection and you had Racelands, I wouldn't let you drive. 4srs
OP you aren't going to see much, if any improvement over what you have unless you go to something with a linear spring like the GC or TCKline kit. Both are similar in performance and price. (I prefer TCK) Without going to a double adjustable or full race shock, these two are the best packages available under $2k.
Hit up Ryan@GF-Performance he is a sponsor here and can set you up with a set of BC-Racing coils. They are great for someone that is on a budget but wants a coilover setup.

Like a couple of the guys who have already suggested, GC or TCK. I have the GC track/school coilovers over the TCK purely because I found them to be a little cheaper for a comparable setup (GC included camber plates).
