Shocks/struts are all blown. I'm ordering a decent set of coilovers soon, either Feal 441+ or Fortune Auto 510. In the meantime I need something to keep from bottoming out on every speed bump; I know both options are shit, but which would be LESS shit?

They only have to last a couple months.
 
I'm replacing the steering rack and lines, lower control arms, and FSB bushings anyway. Also all the control arms and bushings in the rear, they're all rusted. It won't be a big deal. I can push the front end down with one hand, it makes me nervous to drive at highway speeds.
 
since you're looking to just roll the dice for a few months I may be inclined to go Amazon as they'll have better customer service through Amazon if something is amiss. atleast that set has a lifetime warranty so if they blow before you can swap em just warranty them
 
The springs are shit too. If I can bounce the front end with one hand and very little effort, they're worthless.
 
Springs don't go bad. They compress and break but the spring rate stays the same. Are they stock?

I decided to wait, ended up getting used ricelands for like $150. Hopefully I'll have everything installed in 3 weeks; I'm off that week.

Coilovers, front lower control arms with Powerflex ALK and front bushings, FSB bushings, adjustable rear toe and camber arms, rear lower control arms (and Powerflex bushings), rear training arm bushings.
