Coilovers or Springs ?

I just got some 20' Maido GR 5 on my car about a week ago, and now I want to go lower. Any suggestion whether I should go with Eibach springs or coilovers...any suggestion is appreciated. What is a good price range for these items ?

Thanks.

Re: Coilovers or Springs ?

It all depends on what you plan to do with your setup? If its just for show and you dont care about track/ auto x or full adjustability...you may want to look at springs which can slower your car from .5iches - 1.8inches (depending on the company who makes the springs.) The hardest drop has been from tanabe and swift i think at 1.6-1.8inches drop... With springs your going to kill your shocks out fast and wont have the luxury to adjust them.

With coilovers (depending on which you get) You can adjust hight and damping to almost unlimited ranges. Also coilovers cost tons more than the springs but they offer full adjustability and longer life than just springs on stock shocks.
