I've had both and there is no comparison between lowering springs and coil overs - not even close.

When oh when will the cheaper option ever be the better one??
Seriously though, Thanks for the feedback.

Other than the cost and other suspension component upgrades, plus alignment(s) etc. that will be needed, is there a downside to switching to coil overs, Such as squeaks or rattles or overall system “delicacy” ?
In my mind a coil over system is designed for the track where squeaks and bushing noise is not a primary concern and potholes and speed bumps don’t exist.
This is a fairly subjective question, but can a decent(+) coil over system handle street driving?
