Default Lowering Springs vs Coilovers

Trying to decide which route to go on lowering my EM2, what are the pros and cons on both set ups (lowering springs & coilovers)?

Honestly I think it really depends on how long you plan to keep the car. I bought lowering springs because I know after college I might not keep my car. It was either $100 or $700. I personally love the coilovers but I went with the lowering springs. I would say look at what you want something for the long term or short term.

For sure I planning to keep the car for a long time. I konw that the springs are alot cheaper then coilovers. I was looking a some tein coilovers and the kit was about $1100 brand new from tein.com. Are coilovers all the same?
