What to get

RE: What to get
Lowering Springs:
Good:
-inexpensive
-smaller drops mean less camber, so you might not even need a camber kit
-Stock shocks
Bad:
-You're stuck at a certain drop level once you put them on
-Inability to adjust means they're the worse choice for any car that might be seeing an autoX course
Coilovers:
Good:
-Ride height adjustablity (raise/lower whenever you feel like it)
-adjustablity means they're better for tracks
-low ride heights (max. drops of 3.5" to 4")
Bad:
-expensive
-cheap coilovers bounce like crazy
-You'll probably want a camber kit
-You'll definitely want to upgrade to adjustable shocks
I'd say if you live in an area with harsh winters or plan to race your car, get a set of coilovers. If your winters aren't bad and the roads are decent where you live, go with the lowering springs.
