Which springs are better???
Jason, if this is purely for aesthetics.. then i would go ahead and get springs since it will be cheaper than coilovers. However, coilovers is the right way of dropping your ride... drive a car with coilovers and then drive one with after market springs, you will know what i'm talking about... there is a world of a difference in cornering, handling etc... but if you dont care about that stuff and your just doing this for "looks" then go ahead and get some S Techs or Tanabe like Pratik said... or even Espelir.

I went with the G s.tech springs from Tein. Here is a shot of my sedan last spring 3 days after. Had to roll the rear fenders (after a few weeks) to accomodate the 19" stock Coupe rims when I'd hit a bump in the road...

^^ Stytch, no it won't.
Mo, you can put on the Z springs. It won't be too much of a drop (maybe .2-.3 inches I think) but it'll still be something. LEK has those on his car.
