Croustibat is an unknown quantity at this point
Any sub 1200$ coilover "upgrade" is actually a downgrade to handling and ride quality.

Most 1200-2000$ coilover upgrades are an upgrade to handling and a downgrade to ride quality. But unless you use quality bushings, adjustable arms, roll center correction knuckes, set all that correctly, it will also be a downgrade to handling.

My opinion: you already degraded your handling by lowering (yes, even 2" is enough to get bump and toe steer, and both kill handling), so stick with some standard struts.

If you even want better handling, get better tyres first. The next step involves resetting the suspension movement to what was intented, and that requires adjustable camber and traction arms to reset toe steer and get a better static camber, adjustable bump steer steering rack rod ends to limit bump steer. And knowledge about how to set them, because your avarage alignement guy does not know anything about that.
