Default Need Suspension Advice

Alrighy folks, ive gotten sick of the 4wd ride height of my AU and have decided to forgo getting mags and sort the suspension out first. The AU handles pretty well (watts link), but it does feel a bit disconcerting in the wet, especially from the front.

Anyhow ive been looking at a few options with the suspension work. Im looking at something to produce better handling firstly and improve looks. Firstly Pedders gave me a quote for $1050 (installed) for Pedders Sportsryder gear with Lowered Springs (Slightly lower than Tickford) and their 'midrange' VRG struts/shockers.

Second option was a muffler shop (who is the dealer for lovells) with Lovells Lows and KYB shocks for $870 installed

Third Option was buying the gear at Bursons and getting it installed by a local suspension shop. Bursons wanted around $150 a pair for springs, $70 for shocks and i think around $170 for struts; in KYB again.

Pretty much im asking are these decent enough options ? or am I getting ripped off and if i go lows, will i need a camber/castor kit ? (still running 215/60/16 Steelies) and finally should i just go stuff it and get the Full Tickford Suspension Kit from Ford (no idea on price)?
