Default Coilovers vs Springs

got accord to get low.
I'm still thinking what should I get...
People tells me that coil overs have shietty rides. you can feel
every bump. So SPrings are better....
but another hand, Coilovers can adjust height of the car. So...
hmmm...
People who has lowered their rides, what do you have?
any comments or things u wanna tell me, plz lemme hear. Thx

ride height adjustability is only a benefit if you use it. you'll get a better ride out of a spring/shock combination. how low are you going?

neuspeed sports will eventually settle to about that low.. paired with good shocks such as koni yellows or AGX KYB's you should be set

edit: with the koni's you can adjust ride height a bit by changing the perches on the shock/strut its self

sleeve coilovers can have a shitty ride if you neglect a good strut/shock to go with it. however, a full coilover setup can give you the benefits of both worlds. you will have a great ride as well as the option for ride height adjustability...but it also comes with a higher price tag.

if I had to do it all over again, I would get the coilovers. just because of the height adjustability and its my daily driver.
