I think the RSRacing's coilover setup is the way to go. Twenty years of rethinking the problem has yielded some very impressive results. Cost wise, it's cheap by comparison too!
Grant, how about this; try out the drop spindles anyway. You say you already have invested $1,500 in various bits and pieces on your car. Complete this part of your "experience". They aren't that expensive and you can put them in rather quickly.
While you use them in the next year, save up for the RSRacing kit. Use this thread to compare and contrast the two from your perspective. I'm sure the lessons you learn will be valuable to those that will come after you while deliberating the same subject.
