You mean like these?

I've looked into them a little and it seems that smaller cars mainly use them. Not to mention they look pretty skinny. Would that be okay on a 5?

The thickness doesn't matter. Coilovers are about that size as well. It's only the stock suspension that have such a thick shock.
Koni is a very reputable company, you don't have to even second guess their quality if you go that route.
BTW, I also sell Koni.

I have Bilstein SP with Eibach Pro and it rides great. The front appeared to be a lower more than the rear, but I'm digging the look now.
With this set up, however, I'd be better suited with 19s because I hate the 'rubs'!
....and I got my Bilsteins from a member here (that Michael hooked up with a new suspension set up) for $400 barely used.
My advice (from mistakes) is settle on one and go with it. I changed a couple times and the labor cost killed me.
