Default full coilovers vs. adjustable sleeves + shocks

I have been lookin into lowerin my 4dr gsr, and i have been thinking about either gettin full coilovers (omni power), or adjustable springs(omni power) with new shocks (such as tokico). Which would perform better and/or be more worth the money?

For the most part ( 99%) it will be for the street, but i love a stiff performance, and i am only planning on a 1.5ish" drop.

hard to find good shocks for under $300. i would suggest the KYB AGX, but thats closer to $400 than $300.

Dunno if I told you Colin...but I bought all my shit the other day...Omni adjustable springs and Tokico Illuminas. The illuminas cost me around $400, and AGX's are around $300-350 at some places.
