Default Drop springs or coilovers? Whats better?

I'm torn between going with a set of drop springs or going to coilovers on my R. I hear just buy an Eibach prokit & adjustable struts. Others say, go with the Grnd Control coilovers & adjustable struts. I've had drop springs before on other cars enjoyed them OK but, never had a set of coilovers. I've heard they can ride real stiff & bumpy.

he'd be skimping by getting the gc's instead of the pro-kits... the pro-kits aren't really "dropsprings" as much as they are great springs... they feel soft when driving around (ie not bumpy) but when you load them up they're NASTY...

gc's use eibach springs but I believe are ONLY available with linear rate springs as opposed to progressive rate like the pro-kits.

If it's between gc's and prokits... I'd DEFINATELY get the prokits... but if you want to drop the car noticably those are NOT the springs for you.. they only drop it like 1.5 inches... which is almost un-noticable. the gc's are adjustable so you can go as low as they allow but the spring quality isn't the same. imo.
