Coilovers don't do anything for wheel hop.
Are you looking for handling or drop?

It's up to how much you want to spend. if you want to spend a fortune yes
I don't even know if the dealer would install an aftermarket part. You can go to any mechanic around you I guess, it will save you a lot of money

There really isn't a whole lot you can do to these cars to make then unreliable on the stock turbo. If you're blowing up on the stock turbo, it's either a, self inflicted, or b, poorly/overly aggressively tuned. A good tuner knows the car's limits. I say go nuts. Full boltons, wheels/tires, suspension, the works.

X2. If then you want more power after the bolts-on, you can buy the ZFR
