lowering springs are just shorter stiffer springs, and lower the car. coilovers allow you to adjust ride height by altering the length of the coiled spring rather than the actual length of it. thats a terrible explanation! sorry

the splitter is called a jun splitter you can get it of ebay. cost me 40.00 and then 70.00 for spraying and fitting. just a note if you do buy do not get it bolted on it must be bonded on and then screwed in at each front arch way.
when the car is lowered i think these splitters look amazing. cant wait till friday but not sure about coilovers or springs is there a big price difference.

Where or who on eBay did u get it for 40 quid, that's well cheap
Looking really nice on yours
Springs are around 150-200, I think coilovers are 500+
If I had the cash, as mentioned above I would go for coilovers as you can manually set-up your suspension.
