Do you think the BC/Megan coilovers built with swift springs is overkill for someone who will never track their mini?

My goals are to:

Have fun in the canyons
Stop bottoming out when I have passengers in the back
Stiffen the rear a little in corners.
Reduce bump steer
Smooth out the ride over potholes and railroad tracks

I am not sure if its overkill but you might wanna try the stock BC/Megan first. And if the rear gets abit bumpboat like then you decide if to upgrade. I guess its up to each individual expectation.
