I'll take this one. Coils. I've had both and I wished I'd just gone with coils to begin with.

Coilovers.

It's not worth wasting the money on springs and blowing out your stock shocks when you can get a decent set of say TEIN coilovers for a good price and have the full adjustability.

If you have money, then you shouldn't think twice about it.. Coilover.. For sure! But if your just looking for a lil drop and you really dont have the much money to spend, then get springs... I got springs for my car and its on my stock shocks.. And no my shocks aren't blown and my shocks has about 110K on them

I went straight for the coilovers and have no regrets. You get ride height and dampening adjustment to suit your needs. Shocks and springs only leave you with its manufacturer option.

Most guys like Coilovers for adjustability.

There are a wide range of choices to suit your needs and budget as well.
