Default Coilovers?

I am looking to drop my car and I was all about coilovers. Then my friend told me that they are bad for your suspension. He said to just get lowering springs but all the springs I have seen aren't adjustable. Can someone tell me if they are bad or if they will be ok on my car. Also could you tell me what brands you think are good cuz I am looking at tokicos. Thanks

I would never lower a car with springs or coil-overs alone, IMO. Since you're already working in the area change out the shocks too. I've used Tokico HP's in every car and love them.

http://www.optauto.com has spring/shock packages. I'm getting my Tokicos from them for my next project. There $360 for springs/shocks. Lowers 1.5 inches. Perfect IMO, plus with a 1.5 drop, you won't have to worry about a camber problem.
