wow look 100% for springs.. looks like it wins unanimously.. heh jk
when u say coilovers, i'm assuming u mean the "coilovers" like skunk2 and not the true coilovers like Apex..
i recommend u get like a 1.8" drop with eibach or H&R sport or something like that.. it'll look clean, you won't have to worry about scratching that much, and you won't need aftermarket shocks

Depends on what your lifestyle is... daily driven, I'd say some springs with some quality struts... for show, I'd say coil-overs, dro it as low as you can, then back up, so you can drive the car back from the show.

It depends on what you want to do. Coilovers require balancing the car and requires some know-how and patience to do.
Springs once you lower it you get an alignment and you are done.

How many times have you changed your height?

This post has actually helped me out, too. I was pretty set on getting coilovers (well, coilover sleeves) so I could put my car at the height I wanted it at. But after reading this, I'm thinking springs are the way to go. Now for another question...what kind of drop would look best/handle best? I want to be low, but not too low...it's a daily driver.
