A true "coilover" system would be sweet. What you are referring to are the "adjustable springs". Stay away from generic knock-offs as I've heard problems with the sleeves cracking. Also, Ground Control let's you specify the spring rate.

we are on a site
And yes you do get what you pay for, the cheap coilovers can slip, crack, etc.
Stick with Skunk2 or GC, or get some real coilover suspension.

Sleeves will never be as good as full coilover setup, but if you don't want to pay $900 and up (which you obviously don't), look into Skunk2 or Ground Control. Those would be your best bet. Just remember that if you use your stock struts you will not have a smooth riding car.

get GC coils, they are very helpful when it comes to picking your spring rate and your shocks to fit what you want, but dont go over board with like 600lbs springs

Then again, if you don't really care about handling that much and just want to lower your car, anything will do.
