like everyone has said... springs if you want to take the kit off... but if you want to keep the kit i would go with coilovers since in the winter you can bring it back up (philly has about the same seasons as wisconsin)... thats what im doing in the spring with mine

Re: what would be better to lower my car with coilovers or springs????? (FLUENT)
oooooh, you might wanna do some research on those Skunk2's. Everyone I've talked to that has them says "they are too stiff". Not sure if it's true but I've heard that a lot.
I have this off-brand Superhigh Technology and they work great. Never had a problem.

U dont want coilovers man springs are great. They will ride the closet to stock. Also get Eibach springs.

Once again I got to go with Tokico's. It's like a 1 3/4 drop and they have ajustable shocks or the blue's. THe blue's have a good ride too.

if you live in a summer climate DEFINITELY get coilovers.. the adjustability makes it soooooooo nice.
however if you live in a winter climate i'd suggest springs simply because coilover threads will rust due to salt.

Apexi WS coilovers or Tein SS!!! I got a 90 Accord, and I got my APEXI WS coilovers, and it's the best thing I put on my car. Rides like stock, and I got a 1 finger gap all the way around ,and I still have like another 1-2 inches to drop it. I had Skunk2 with Tokico Illuminas, and they were pretty good, but the Apexi's are waaaaayyyyy better!!!

skunk 2 
tokico blue
Don't get the skunk 2's...youll regret it. Just spend a little more and get teh ground controls....theyre much much better.
The suspension is an important part of your car.
