You are absolutely right I guess I tried to put in two questions in one sentence.. ;-)
So if I just start with the first one...

-When I´ll be putting on the Öhlin R/T coilovers the car will be lowered (within reason) I take it there is consensus in the need for adjustable rear toelinks, but is it a fact that I would gain from using the Bump-steer-compensated ones? More money, but will they matter?

Bump steer feature works for me, pavement is rough out here and I used to get steering wheel kickbacks over bumps but it definitely feels solid now with it. Honestly I can’t tell effect on the rear as I did wheel alignment to dial toe and camber at the same time, but it feels a lot smoother through corner. It’s more money but not that much more.

With your coilovers you can adjust the height as low as the lower control arm and the toe rod stay in parallel, and you could get by without needing bump steer feature?
