If you want to go lower is beter to go with coilovers. I have a set of spring on my hatchback and is not the low...but if you have a set of good shocks just buy a set of coilover. And go slammed...they go around 60 dollards on ebay...

You need coilovers. If your riding on factory struts and you attempt to throw on altering coils around the factory strut, it won't last at all, or work for that matter. Altering the two will cause poor compression/rebound as your factory struts have internal hydraulic orifices that are engineered to match the compression/rebound rate of the factory springs.

It's worth the extra money for a legitimate set of coilovers. There properly engineered to allow for full ride height adjustability, depending on how much money you spend, you can pick up a set with adjustable strut dampening as well.

Just something to take into account. Good luck!
