no b/c the ones i was looking at were just springs.. those arent adjustable right?

 

if they were just springs then they were not coilovers. and no they are not adjustable if they are just springs.

coilovers are adjustable

Each question you ask does not make sense

If you baught lowering spring it would drop it. Depending what the drop on the spring is 1.5, 1.7 , 2 , 2.2 , 2.5 , etc each style and brand of spring is different. It will say what the drop of the spring is on the website with the name brand of the spring and what type it is. But springs are not adjustable. So if it says a 2 inch drop that is pretty much what your going to get - a 2inch drop, forever (unless you return to stock or switch springs to a different height.)

With coilovers you will get to adjust it usually 0-4 inches or 0.5-3.5 inches or so. Again depends on the brand of coilover you get.

depends on how low you want to go and if you want the adjustability. coilovers are not hard to adjust. lift up each corner, loosen collar lock nut, adjust collar up or down, tigthen lock nut, done.

 

Well that is all personal preference.
I can not answer that

Depends on a million things
-Money
-What kind of Driving you do
-How stiff or soft you want your ride
-Are you going to put shocks on
-How often you will raise it
-How low your going to lower it,
-Are you going to get an alignment each time you lower it
-Do you have a camber kit
-How fast you want to go through tires
-and the list goes on and on and on

We can spend HOURS and HOURS talking about this, do a search (little red button) and spend some time reading up on this....I can not believe you havent done this already

 

lowering springs seem to have a better ride than coilovers. it also depends on the brand and what kind of shocks you have.

my personal preference would be coilovers cause i can have the car dropped lower than what a lowering spring would put me at.

 

umm if i were you i'd stick to coilovers.! springs just dont cut it when u get sick of the height and your only option is to spend a couple more hundred or return to stock height!
