Default Coilover or lower spring?

I bought a black 94 HOnda Accord EX with 4 doors.. It had Muffler, and clear corner signal.. I dont like it because Im not into Ricer... So Im looking for the stock signal corner and stock muffler... SO I want to lower it with coilover or lower spring.. I heard the background about the coilover break easily because of the car weight is heavy.. People say get Lower springs.. The lower springs can handle the heavy weight... So I want to know what the brand name which is drop 2.5 inch.. I want to leave the stock rims on and paint it black.. Im going to save money to buy tint, new radio, leather seats, and maybe CF hood.. Please let me know as soon as possible..

I say get springs Unless you are willing to pay more money on alignment because every time you adjust your coilovers you would need to do an alignment. (U don't have too) but you should if you want to save your tires from wearing out quik!!

Have someone who knows what they're doing cut an Eibach Pro-Kit for a V6 down to give you the drop you want. It will handle better than any other car.

pretty much the same. especially once you have removed the shock assemblies. those will definately be about the same.

coilovers only suck if you buy cheap ones.

but for just a plain jane spring. H&R makes a good product.
