There is a thread on here about someone fixing them by cleaning out the old dried grease and re-packing them. They also fitted a grease nipple so when things started to knock they could add new grease could be worth a search. If I find it will edit to add link.

We run the BC coilovers on our car, we also are a dealer for them. Ours have been on 18 months now and not a noise or knock from them at all. BC revised the rear upper mounts ages ago which stopped the knocking issues. You can be confident a set of BC Coilovers will serve you well. There reputation is excellent value for money.

Id also take these into consideration http://www.kw-suspension.co.uk/ yes they cost more but if you see who runs them on here you may be tempted
Probably the best vfm suspension you will get under 4k (no they are not that expensive either )

As above KW will be best option for you or Nitron 2-way,which have 1 year rolling warranty,for similar money you can get Intrax HDA,this company making inserts for EXE-TC
Bilstein B14 coilovers seems are OK,but main thing what is missing on them is adjustable damping,plus not sure if you can on them adjust camber
