If you want it adjustable then yes you'll need coilovers. What's your budget? As with coilovers you get what you pay for.

Yeh they do. I haven't had first hand experience with these kits, but know from word and mouth they're good. If I did it again this is the kit I'd go for.

Mmm sounds a plan, is it easy to install coilovers? The same as normal suspenion or us it best to get pros to install it?

Pretty straight forward mate if you know what your doing and have the correct tools.

here's a guide for the 6N, it's the same for the 6N2:
