TLDR: I need higher better performing springs than Kings Super Lows to go with Koni shocks. Advice appreciated on what will help me navigate both shopping centres and high speed corners, thanks.

When I got the car it came with King Spring Ultra Lows and I thought it felt great to drive, no complaints there. It was a little uncomfortable if tyres were pumped to their max spec, as you could feel the grains of the road on the freeways but to me smooth as butter at tyre placard pressures. I loved how tight it was, it felt like it was on rails.

However shopping centres and even my own small kerb on my driveway was problematic. I learnt to take things slow and on angles, which wasn't too bad for a while. However the final straw was the last holiday I had, I ended up parking the car by the beach as I couldn't get it over the resorts speed bumps. Also driving down caves road there was a horrible noise as the car dropped into a dip in the road, something rubbed.
I love it low but it's just not practical.

I had a set of second hand King Springs Super Lows sitting in the garage so I decided to try them although I guessed I needed either full height or standard lows but this would give me and idea of what I would need. So I put the Super Lows in, while doing so I realized the stock shocks were totally passed their used by date. I didn't notice this before as the Ultras barely moved at all.

So the Super Low ride cleared all the bumps at Garden City and other shopping centres I avoid parking at, but only while the back seats and child seats were out on the first day that I installed the springs. With a full load the car was back to scrapping again. Also the ride was horrible, so bouncy, tree rooted roads causing a rocking back and fourth.

So I decided I'm going to put in some Koni adjustable shocks and while I was at it a Whiteline anti lift kit. That should improve the ride a bunch but I'm not sure it will get the ride back to where it was. I also feel I need to go higher but not sure how much higher I need to go. Does anyone have a similar experience and know what it takes to stop a GC8 rubbing? Also are King Springs going to give me the ride I'm looking for or is there a better choice?

I did have the option of Tein coilovers but the only ones available were Flex Zs and the non rubber strut tops deterred me as the car is a daily. I hope it gets to see the track a few times but that's not my main goal.

Also another note is I have an after market exhaust where the resonator hangs roughly and inch lower than stock, although I rubbed on stock exhaust.

Any advice would be appreciated, otherwise I will go with whatever STechnic thinks is best.
