hey mate....you sound exactly like i did a year or so ago when i was in the process of upgrading my suspension...I picked up a thing or two.
Firstly, i would not pay pedders that sort of money for their coilover kit...I do not know any cd5s with it and i must admit if u dont want problems u should probably stick with what other cd5 owners are doing or have done ...it's just a safe bet however pedders might be good i just do not know.
same opinion with the hsd hs series from otomoto no idea what that kit would be like.
Alot of people in Australia go for the TEIN coilover kit sourced from the US. I myself have the basic kit and i know of people (bun-135) who has the superstreet kit.
Basic-Height adjustability
Super street- Height adjustability and damper adjustability.
It will allow you to lower your car to a decent height (see pictures of my car or bun135s)
and they are not too bad in terms of price depending on exchange rate.

By the way it isnt a BIG problem u have, it just needs attention. Also you do NOT have to get a coilover kit...u can just upgrade your front springs to match the drop in your rear this does affect shock wear though and u may be needing new shocks sooner than later depending on your drop.
U need to ask yourself a few questions before u fork out lots of money for your suspension-
1. Do you only want it lowered?
2. How much of a drop from stock do you want it?
Its really up to you how much u want to spend on your suspension, im just suggesting tein because i know they are a quality product as ive had first hand experience with them on a cd5. they are definately worth putting in if you can fork out the cash, if u only want a 1.5inch drop u can probably just stick to getting k-mac springs manufactured to that height however you'll increase shock wear, you may need new shocks the day after u install ur springs or 4 yrs after, but this can be done at a later stage and won't affect your ride much anyways .
good luck let me know if u need anything clarified....bit tired.
