The Tien Flex coilovers would be sick with the EDFC. I just don't have the money since I'm still in college. I expect a harder ride with coilovers, but it seems like they should be alright on the softest setting for rough road situations. Right now I am either thinking the Helix, Megans, or just wait. I also figured the top bolt on the helixs broke from overtorquing. Those bolts only call for about 14 ft-lbs of torque.

Damper adjustment isn't really for "harder or softer ride". It's for modifying how the spring is controlled for handling purposes. Because the spring is a fixed rate, you're making the car more or less oversprung by changing the damper.
If you set the dampers to "full soft" changes are the car won't be as harsh, but it will be bouncy. If you set it to "full stiff" the car won't bounce, but it will chatter over small bumps.
Ideally there is only one damper setting for a particular spring rate, and on a set of stiff coilovers, it's not going to be comfortable.
What you need to do is look into a set of ground control spring perches and eibach springs matched to the stock struts (though I'd still recommend some AGX's). That way you'll have the street ride and height adjustability:
$400 gets you the adjustable perches and springs and installs in place of your lowering springs.
