for daily driving, TEIN Basics, or Ground Control coilovers are probably the best quality for the money.

you will need a coilover kit, new struts, and a camber kit to fix the in and out lean of you wheel, i suggest you do sum research before you jump into lowering your car

Any change in highth of the suspension, you'll need a camber kit to fix the camber (in/out adjustment of the tire). But, using coilovers or lowering springs won't really make the ride "bouncy". Your struts will control that; you can use your stock ones but, you'll blow them out quickly. Also, any change to the suspension will require your car a realignment.

get tein s-techs and kyb agx. about 2" drop or less and call it a day. u really dont even have to get a camber kit with that =P coilovers r expensive and if ure not looking for performance aspects then dont worry about it.

so i guess choosing between coilovers and regulars springs and shocks is a matter of a personal opinion, i guess it all depends on how much u wanna invest in your car!! right??
