i currently have spax coilovers on my ej9 but im thinking of changing them but not sure what to go for? im looking for a set of coilovers that are going to stiff because i want my car to be low and static and for the wels to be close to the arch, so i dont want them to hit th arch though with daily driving.

i would like height/dampening but not to bothered about camber adjustment because i have camber arms front and back.

what are your suggestions?

Have you tried lowering these coilovers to the height you want to see what they're like?
 
I will just give my opinion here:

You don't want the wheel to hit the arch, that is understandable.
But suppressing suspension movement can becomes dangerous.

Suspension have to move in order to function.
That movement generate traction, and also save your chassis from cracking.

Our SuperLow coilovers go low, but at the same time it isn't rock solid.
Because safety concern have to be considered...

Also, many so call "rock hard" suspension are actually harsh damper valving.
They will not make a huge difference when you hit a bump on the road because the wheel will move to the maximum amount of allowed movement.
Therefore, the wheel will still hit the arch.

What that mean is rock hard suspensions may not do what you want either, but it will make the ride very uncomfortable.

The correct way to fix a problem is to address the problem.
If the wheel is hitting the arch, address the wheel (offset / tyre width), or address the arch (rolling the arch).
Using the suspension to plaster over the problem isn't the right way to cure it.
